lyrics

My mind says yes, my body says no - don't know where to go.
She says my heart moves slow up against the wind.
I'm trying to find where to begin, I wonder if it's a sin
To wanna go through this again, to wanna take you
Where I've been is nowhere good, like a bad neighborhood
It will swallow you whole and spit out your bones
On the pavement where we played, on the carpet where we laid
And it's taking you so far from home.

We held a wedding thinking we could rent a noose
And take it to the edge of our lives, or a branch in our backyard.
I know you're dying, we're all dying, people lying to the moon
How bout you?
And I'll take my pictures down if you throw me a tune
Rip the skin from my lips, a couple of cents will get you somewhere new
And if you wanna set it in before the fire starts to sing, then I will too.
I will too.

My gut won't choose the right direction. I can tell by the inflection in her voice when she tells me I don't even have a choice
To turn around, to lie back down into the water and let myself drown
It's in the way you move towards my brain
At the end of the day, it's the thing that you say.

Wait - don't go
I wanna feel your heart beat slow.
Stay - don't leave
I will give you the air that I breathe.
And you can watch me while I suffocate
Set fire to the things you hate about me.
You know that I don't need them anymore.
As we burn down hand-in-hand
Take everything I am and let me go
Leave me begging for more.
