lyrics

How I knew
far before you knew yourself:
Honey, I counted up the time.

Step by step,
walking backwards towards the door,
thinking I finally crossed.

And now I
know the thin line.
I would give you my whole body if I could.

This is how
we do tend to fall apart.
Keep an eye out from time to time.

How is it
you so quickly say goodbye,
when you know
you’re clawing at the ceiling,
hardly breathing.

I would give you my whole body
if I thought that it would be the thing
that let you be
something outside yourself.
I don’t wanna walk away,
believe me.

Folded hands.
Thinking I know you now.
I don’t wanna walk away,
but I don’t wanna stay
the same.
Don’t you wanna know
if you ever know anyone?

Clawing at the feeling again
I would give you my whole body if I
thought that it would be the thing
that you let be
something outside yourself
I don’t wanna walk away,
believe me.
