Turn Again and Come Back

I saved a dead man’s life I brought him back from the brink with my hands I told him here’s something you’ve gotta understand ‘Cause people think death hides And people think it holds a knife But there’s more than one way to lose your life To lose your life Black wolf Sitting at my feet Waiting for a change in my heartbeat Oh black wolf Come near to me Teach me About anger and grief About suffering and peace I saved a dead man’s life I brought him back from the brink with my words I told him here’s something you’ve probably never heard ‘Cause people think death hides And people think it holds a knife But there’s more than one way to lose your life, to lose your life Black wolf Sitting at my feet Waiting for a change in my heartbeat Oh black wolf Come near to me Teach me About anger and grief About suffering and peace Footsteps Shadows Are you listening close Footsteps Deep breaths Deep breaths Footsteps Deep breaths Deep breaths I saved a dead man’s life I brought him back from the brink with my hands

I’ve lived in the blue house For all of my life First as a daughter And then as a wife I’ve tried to leave it Drive and drive I come back every time I’ve lived in the blue house For all of my days Eyes on the water As the leaves change I’ve tried to leave it Bought tickets, boarded planes I always return to this place They say you can’t ever really break through ‘Til you lock the door behind you But I’ve lived in the blue house since I was a girl I’ve never known any other world I’ve lived in the blue house Since I was small Never did get over what happened down the hall The cupboards and corners I live in them all This blue house will be my downfall They say you can’t ever get over the wrong ‘Til you let what’s gone truly be gone But I’ve lived in the blue house since I was a girl I’ve never known any other world I’ve lived in the blue house For all of my life First as a daughter And then as a wife I’ve tried to leave it Drive and drive I come back every time I come back every time I come back every time

It was a small, small room Damaged me like a car crash Not a single bruise Inside I was day-old ash My feet were dirty I’d been climbing trees Watching dragonflies Eating poison berries Who’s that girl Losing the world This silence is a stone in my mouth Guess I’ll have to learn to talk around It was an ordinary day Damaged me like demolition No breaks Inside itched like stitches My hair was knotted You said I looked like a nymph I sang your songs to you Your hand on my hip Who’s that girl Losing the world This silence is a stone in my mouth Guess I’ll have to learn to talk around I used to think it was my fault Always just too pretty I used to think it was my failing Ten years is a pity My home was haunted By the way your floors creaked No more closed eyes No more baby teeth No more closed eyes Who’s that girl Losing the world This silence is a stone in my mouth Guess I’ll have to learn to talk around This silence is a stone in my mouth Guess I’ll have to learn to talk around it

That woman is my Meant to be, the outline of me She’s up on the screen I’ll never know what follows me Hollows me What could have been I’ll never be Wind in my hair I wanna be scared I wanna be scared and I won’t let this go Won’t let me go on Living gone Living gone That woman is my Recurring dream, mirror me All over my feed I’ll never know what pays me Craves me What could have been free I’ll never be Wind in my hair I wanna be scared I wanna be scared and I won’t let this go Won’t let me go on Living gone Living gone (Nothing) Even if I lose I’ll win I was made for being Even if i get lost I’ll be finding Even if i lose I’ll win I was made for being Even if I get lost I’ll be finding Wind in my hair I wanna be scared I wanna be scared and I won’t let this go Won’t let me go on Living gone Living gone Even if I’m late Even if no one’s holding the gate Even if I’m wrong Even if I’ve waited for too long Even if I’m late Even if no one’s holding the gate Even if I’m wrong Even if I’ve waited for too long
