[Verse 1]
Met her on a Sunday
Sand stuck to our shoes
Laughing at the tourists
Burning like they do
She drew a little skull
In the foam of my brew
Looked up through her lashes
Said
"Don't make me poison you"
[Chorus]
"Don't make me poison you"
She smiles as she says it
Half joke
Half warning sign
I still kinda let it
Sink into my bloodstream
Like a dare I had to lose
Kissed me on Collins Street
"Baby
Don't make me poison you"
[Verse 2]
We shared one cheap umbrella
Storm smashed the avenue
She stole my denim jacket
Called it "contraband from you"
Tattoo of a snake
On the back of her neck
Blue
Tracing it at midnight
She whispered
"I'll poison you"
[Chorus]
"Don't make me poison you"
She laughs like it's nothing
But her hands shake just a bit
When she reaches for something
Promise on a bar napkin
Ink running in the dew
"I'll never disappear
If you don't make me poison you"
[Bridge]
Is it a joke?
Is it a curse?
Is it the best
Or the worst?
If love's a little toxic
Then maybe this is true
I'd drink every last drop
If it came from you
[Chorus]
"Don't make me poison you"
Now it rings like a prayer
In the queues and the heatwaves
In the cold airport air
Boarding pass in my pocket
Still tasting that truth
Somewhere over red desert
I'm hearing
"I'll poison you"
