lyrics

Blank arms are easier ya know
When it all is burning down the road
Let water crumble from your hands
Fall way with a sigh

And I’m sighing too
Oh I’m crying too
I’m sighing too
Oh I’m crying too

If God had ever shown to care
I bet he would say to save your prayers
Those letters that you’re writing home
Burn away in time

And that time is through
Oh it’s time you knew
That time is through
Oh it’s time you knew

But I won’t go home
To those letters that you write
And I won’t go home
I won’t be holding you tonight
I won’t go home
I’ll just find a place
Out of sight

A voyage to another dawn
Only burns the side the eyes are on
It’s bright but wait an hour more
Sun sets with a sigh

And I’m sighing too
Oh I’m crying too
I’m sighing too
Oh I’m crying too

But I won’t go home
To those letters that you write
And I won’t go home
I won’t be holding you tonight
I won’t go home
I’ll just find a place
Out of sight



My body aches from the throes of routine
Where I wake up at noon just to fall back asleep
And fight
With myself
How I wish not to move yet to be somewhere else
Then say oh well
Then my bruises
Start to swell

But I went outside for the first time in weeks
And those modernist buildings looked stale as my sheets
But still
I cried
When the windows reflected the sun into my eyes
Forgot what that’s like
And I stayed there
Until the night


But I don’t want to be here
No, I don’t want to sing this song
I don’t want to let go
And I don’t want to laugh along
I just want to find it
Find whatever I’m hanging on
I don’t want to love you
No, I don’t want to feel that strong

But I’m done with the walking
No, the city’s too cold at night
My body is tired
And my head knows it ain’t my fight
So I go to dreaming
Of a house with the warmest light
And I see us in there
And the stars are burned out of sight


We just sit there in our silence
And we leave the world behind us
Finally say:
You are my love
You are my kin

You give me something to believe in
Now let me hold you till we’re even
And our worlds will maybe slow down in their spin

And all the futures you’ve been yearning
All the letters I’ve seen burning
Oh we’ll stand side by side to warm our hands

And we could smile at the sunset
And every shadow that comes from it
And gladly greet them on the other end

But I’ve been home
I have seen those flames ignite
And I’ve been home
Falling in and out of light
And I’ve been home
No, I do my best
Out of sight
