[Verse 1]
You came in laughing
With rain on your coat
I caught my reflection
In your red-sugar throat
I know what I am
I know what it costs
One kiss from me, baby
And you could be lost
[Pre-Chorus]
So I keep my teeth
Behind my grin
I bite my tongue
When your hand slides in
I want you close
But I want you free
That curse was mine
Don’t put it on me
[Chorus]
You are aging like fine whine
(aging like fine whine)
I’ll love you through the midnight
But I won’t make you mine
You are aging like fine whine
(aging like fine whine)
I’d rather lose you once
Than chain you for all time
[Verse 2]
I’ve got old moon scars
Under my skin
A house full of silence
That never fit in
I’ve seen good hearts
Turn cold by dawn
I won’t be the reason
Your light is gone
[Pre-Chorus]
So keep that pulse
Keep that name
Keep your wild little fire
Keep your whole sweet claim
If I lean too hard
If I start to fall
I’ll step back first
I’ll take the blow at all
[Chorus]
You are aging like fine whine
(aging like fine whine)
I’ll love you through the midnight
But I won’t make you mine
You are aging like fine whine
(aging like fine whine)
I’d rather lose you once
Than chain you for all time
[Bridge]
Let the hourglass break
Let the dark ones stare
I can take the hunger
I can take the glare
But you’ve got tomorrow
And I won’t steal
The pulse in your wrist
The way you feel
[Final Chorus]
You are aging like fine whine
(aging like fine whine)
I’ll love you through the midnight
But I won’t make you mine
You are aging like fine whine
(aging like fine whine)
I’d rather burn alone
Than call that curse your life
You are aging like fine whine
(aging like fine whine)
And I’ll be yours tonight
Just not forever’s price
