Dashboard Confessional - I Need a Sure Thing Lyrics

Send "I Need a Sure Thing" ringtones to your cell

You are a razor blade 
You are precision-cut 
You are a stare sharp as the tack in my eye? 
At rest in my veins 
Your pulse in my neck?
As sharp-edged as questions the time I have left 
And so you are on my mind

I need a burning stake 
I need a piercing dart 
I need something as hot as it is sharp 
And I need to bleed 
I need to burn 
I need a sure thing 
I need a sure thing 
And you are a mystery to me 

You are a paper bird 
Folded and folded and creased 
And bent and shaped from a five dollar bill 
It's priceless to me 
And never spent 
It hangs from a ceiling fan over my bed 
And so you are on my mind

 I need a burning stake 
I need a piercing dart 
I need something as hot as it is sharp 
And I need to bleed 
I need to burn 
I need a sure thing 
And you are a mystery to me 

I'll hang my hopes all at once on a rope 
There's a possibility that this is happening to someone who's not me 
I'll hold my head 
Keep it still and pretend 
That these spins and the webs 
Are actually desirable

I need a burning stake 
I need a piercing dart 
I need something as hot as it is sharp 
And I need to bleed I need to burn 
I need a sure thing 
And you are a mystery to me
