BILLY TALENT LYRICS - Tears Into Wine

"Tears Into Wine"



The gun is loaded when the glass is full

Down the hatch and the trigger's pulled

Off the wagon and back onto the stool

I know that when I stare into your eyes

I can see all the years of lies

Ghosts and demons you never exorcised



All the friends that I've ever known

Are the streetlamps I follow home

And I'm in the crowd but I'm all alone



Oh Lord, I just can't

Tear the moon from the stars tonight

Twist my arm like a knife tonight

And if you wanna leave that's alright

Well I'll just turn these tears into wine



His fate was written on a neon sign

A DUI never changed his mind

He got hooked like a fish caught on a line

You never gave yourself a chance to shine

Your destination's a chalk outline

And when you get to the gates you'll be denied



All the friends that I've ever known

Are the streetlamps I follow home

And I'm in the crowd but I'm all alone



Oh Lord, I just can't

Tear the moon from the stars tonight

Twist my arm like a knife tonight

And if you wanna leave that's alright

Well I'll just turn these tears into wine



Tear the moon from the stars tonight

Twist my arm like a knife tonight

And if you wanna leave that's alright

Well I'll just turn these tears into wine



All the friends that I've ever known

Are the streetlamps I follow home

The tide keeps pulling me down

I try to reach higher ground

I'll never give up and drown



Even though I just can't

Tear the moon from the stars tonight

Twist my arm like a knife tonight

And if you wanna leave that's alright

Well I'll just turn these tears into wine



Tear the moon from the stars tonight

Twist my arm like a knife tonight

And if you wanna leave that's alright

Well I'll just turn these tears into wine

Tears into wine

Tears into wine

Well, I'll just turn these tears into wine
