Milk-Heavy, Pollen-Eyed Lyrics
Try as I may to carve my path,
I cannot keep myself from stumbling back to you.
And you say don’t you ever lose your heat,
Don’t you ever be caught shedding your skin too soon.
Find me with the milk heavy heart,
And I would clear the pollen from your eyes. I would, I would.
For love has got you hanging off my hips,
Like a worn-out dress with my skin showing through.
Can we forget about the truth?
It never called to me like it called to you.
And if salvation never takes our hands,
we’ll dance around the wreckage. The dark lives.
Trials as sure as every parting word,
can start yearning on every parting tongue.
I cannot keep myself from stumbling back to you.
I cannot keep myself from stumbling back to you.
And you say don’t you ever lose your heat,
Don’t you ever be caught shedding your skin too soon.
Find me with the milk heavy heart,
And I would clear the pollen from your eyes. I would, I would.
For love has got you hanging off my hips,
Like a worn-out dress with my skin showing through.
It never called to me like it called to you.
And if salvation never takes our hands,
we’ll dance around the wreckage. The dark lives.
Trials as sure as every parting word,
can start yearning on every parting tongue.
I cannot keep myself from stumbling back to you.

I hear: "And you're safe" instead of "and you say" also "so just as sure as every parting word comes stuttering off every parting tongue"
I love this song. To me it's about an affair she keeps coming back to. "Can we forget about the truth"...can we forget about the fact that he's married. "If salvation never takes our hands, we'll dance around the wreckage"...if they never do the right thing and end it, they'll dance around the wreckage of a broken marriage.
