Close The Lid |
Put me on a boat and cut the line |
The fishing’s been much better but the weather’s fine |
And all my friends are here to kill the time |
And all the things I love are in rewind |
And I wouldn’t care if they all just disappeared |
Cause you know I’ll be coming back here every year |
The promise of the fall |
And winter’s lazy call |
They’ve got me pinned against the wall |
And all we are is all in all |
And I’m not afraid to die |
As long as you’re by my side |
We can sleep the whole year through |
And then I will up and leave |
To show you that I believe |
In the way that things used to be |
Put me in a box and close the lid |
Put me on a shelf, keep me well-hid |
And everything I said and everything I did |
And everyone I’ve known since I was a kid |
And keep me there until I’m old |
Until I know that I have wisened up |
Cause right now I’m too weak |
My mouth can barely speak |
My days are cold and bleak |
And we are on the brink |
Of a long civil war |
Between my heart and yours |
We will fight by ourselves |
Don’t let me be a liar |
It was just friendly fire |
Went on for a bit too long |
Point me to the truth and make me learn |
Everything I have but never earned |
Like the way your heart always returned |
After I had left it unconcered |
And I will be much better this time, I swear |
I’ll pull you back in time and I’ll keep you there |
The dead hand of the past |
Making time go by so fast |
Making all my troubles last |
And I’d rather die alone in the grass |
Don’t let me hestitate |
And don’t sit around and wait |
While the others are having fun |
And I like it better here |
Where I can be cold all year |
At least I’ll be by myself |
Ah-ha-ha-ha |
Name | Year |
