There was a time you'd break your legs
Just to lie where you felt safe
In the quiet of a film
In the comfort of my gaze
And now you hesitate to press
Your lips to anything you see
For fear you'll feel it in your veins
And sink your roots too deep
This place, I know, it built my bones
You can't stay, but I can't go
It raised my words, it set my tone
You know?
I know you can't stay
As a plant
And grow in just one place
Or ever speak before you leave
I know you can't wait
Dig a grave
All alarms have got it out for me.
Will we meet again?
Will we be shaking hands?
There was a time I'd break your legs
Just to bind you to my fate
And you would long for different scenes
But I'd write them all the same
I know cracked bells and washed-out horns
Will sigh and watch you fade
And all alarms resound and sing
I don't know…
If you go, If you leave
Know that I still love you more than love could mean
And I will make you love me
I know you can't stay
As a plant
And grow in just one place
Or ever speak before you leave
I know you can't wait
Dig a grave
All alarms have got it out for me.
Will we meet again?
Will we be shaking hands?
