| Let the water freeze on the doorstep
|
| Keep inside all the worries in your head
|
| Stay warm like a sweater on an old man
|
| How do you sleep at night?
|
| I wonder, does the tension leave your bed?
|
| I’ve asked myself this question once or twice
|
| But I can’t comprehend
|
| I just want to be remembered
|
| As the staple that held the pages together
|
| Is this too much to ask for?
|
| I just want to be remembered
|
| Like the weather in the winter
|
| So brisk, so fresh, so strong
|
| Never lose your focus
|
| Your sense of direction
|
| Is this too much to ask for?
|
| I just want to be remembered
|
| Like a flood in the spring
|
| You will find beauty in the act of drowning
|
| You’ll lose your focus
|
| The notes, the purpose
|
| Your sense of direction
|
| You’ve lost your motive
|
| I just want to be remembered
|
| Like the weather in the winter
|
| So brisk, so fresh, so strong
|
| Never lose your focus
|
| Your sense of direction
|
| Is this too much to ask for?
|
| (Tell me)
|
| If these calloused hands
|
| (Tell me)
|
| Brushed the skin on your back
|
| (Tell me)
|
| Would it make you warm and content?
|
| (Tell me)
|
| Or would your spinal cord collapse?
|
| (Tell me)
|
| If these calloused hands
|
| (If these calloused hands)
|
| Brushed the skin on your back
|
| (Tell me)
|
| Would it make you warm and content?
|
| (Would it make you warm?)
|
| Or would your spinal cord collapse?
|
| Would it collapse?
|
| Let the wind chimes get the spotlight
|
| They promise to sing us a lullaby
|
| (If they ever)
|
| If they ever know
|
| We’re listening
|
| They’ll shut our eyes
|
| Let the water freeze on the doorstep
|
| Keep inside all the worries in your head |
