about

a song about the evolving meaning of the word choke over the years

lyrics

I feel it rushing over me
I can see it in my dreams
when the pressure's building up
feels like I'm gonna choke again

but I don't have to win this time
not all of the praise has to be mine
we can raise our cups alone
but drinking's better with a friend

oh I choke
on the bittersweet taste of the golden cup
oh I choke
place your gentle hands around my willing throat

CHOKE dribbling so fast with my feet in the grass
feeling so free till I look up and
CHOKE where are those feet when I need them
I feel like two lefts nothings right when I talk to you I
CHOKE on every word you said to me in the night
like the smoke in my lungs as I blow it in your face I hope you
CHOKE not on the rope or on the blood from your wrist
but on your life compared to mine I want you I want you I want you to
CHOKE I'm over you and now I'm out in the world
so why do I still think love's supposed to hurt I
CHOKE I do what I'm supposed to do
but it never seems to fill the hole I
CHOKE back the tears and patch up my soul
now I know what love is and I'm finally whole I
CHOKE I pull your hands harder against my throat
tighter baby make me choke

oh I choke
on the bittersweet taste of the golden cup
oh I choke
place your gentle hands around my willing throat
