This will be your right
Clinging to your life
I know that I could possibly have afforded
And this will be that knife jabbed into your side
I know that I could have possibly signed your warrant
That is how we'll stray
Still by the phrase
"But everyone I love could walk away tonight."
All I'm asking for is a story in your look
But come the morning you're found bleeding in your book
Without hope tied to string, drawn out in the back of our mind
Torn and frayed, so take aim
I know you're crawling anyway
I just want to know you better
Your bones will brittle and decay
I just want to know you better
Your bones will brittle and decay
I just want to know you better
The world will wipe and wash away
I just want to, I just want to
All I'm asking for is a story in your look
But come the morning you're found bleeding in your book
Without hope tied to string, drawn out in the back of our mind
Set to fray
Maybe they own the other road across the street
They've got the hide tied to a fence outside our house
It's not the way that I thought we'd meet
Cracking up and open
They've got the hide tied to the fence outside our house
It's not the way that I thought we'd leave
