Gun
Emilíana Torrini Lyrics

Every day I see you looking in
I notice you watching me every day

I'll be the smoothest thing to touch your skin
I am the most tempting thing you've ever felt

You're longing to be loved but you're alone
You crave love but you are single

And your longing makes you shiver to the bone
Your longing for love makes you feel lonely to the extreme

And no, your mama told you nothing of importance
Your mother did not teach you anything of significance

No, your daddy taught you nothing could learn
Your father did not instruct you in anything you could keep

You had your sister's weighing on your pockets
Your sisters were a burden on your pockets or finances

And the priest, he tries so hard to get you turned
The priest makes a lot of effort to convert or persuade you

Maybe you've been living lonely
Perhaps, you have been living a solitary life

While your woman has a fellow on the side
Your woman is cheating on you

Your kids keep telling jokes that ain't that funny
Your children's attempts at humor are falling flat

And you've failed in everything that comes to mind
You cannot seem to succeed in anything

Now you see I'm only here to let you know
I am only present to tell you something

That I love you and I'll never let you go
I love you and will always be there for you

So take me in the hand and walk on by
Hold my hand and let's move forward

For the life this has to offer twists inside
Life is complicated and unexpected

Now your woman has a fellow in your bed
The person you love is cheating on you in your own bed

You have to go, you have to move right in
You have to act fast and do something about the situation

And the ring on your finger would leave another scar
Your wedding ring would hurt you like a wound

But the joke's on her, she hasn't seen it all
She will eventually realize what she has lost

So you shuffled up close and you shot him in the face
You approached the cheater and shot him in the face

And your woman looked on and your children, they embraced
Your partner and children witnessed the murder

And the candle's still burning and the fire's roaring fire
The candle is still lit and the fire is still burning strong

You moved right in, yeah, you moved right in
You took over the situation and owned it

Stuck, you're shaking, sweating, whining and regretting
You are trapped, distressed, nervous, complaining, and feeling remorseful

You're making a scene but it's gonna get you caught
Your actions are suspicious and may get you in trouble

Meet me in the barrel and tell me that you love me
Come to a secret spot and confess your love to me

Yes, this is a kiss that I swear will blow your mind
This kiss will be incredibly impressive
