Elephants... Teeth Sinking Into Heart lyrics

Brown eyes will you wait for me to follow
I'm used to letting everybody down
I've seen your face in our shadow
Does it look as pretty in the light

Will you save me from myself
Will I save you from the rest
Oh
Brown eyes save a little something for me too

Full moon is there wisdom in your tide play
The cold has come and now the love
Throwing everybody off

I can understand all that you are
I can even take all that you're not
I can sympathize with all you want to be but don't fuck me in front of me

I can even scores with the best of them
I can leave my innocence at bay
You can turn your back on my sincerity but don't fuck me in front of me

How could they
They wait
I saw the look you gave her
Breathe in again
May God
The world do say you hurt

(Instrumental)

I can't talk to you
You think I'm lost inside my mind
You're like an old tatoo and I know you'll fade in time

I'm not the girl you think you know
I'm not the girl you waited for
I'm not the one for you
It's just one thing left to do

Why don't you let me be 'cause I'm a million miles away
Why don't you set me free 'cause you don't treat me like you say

I won't tuck you in one last time

The last time I laid my eyes upon you
You were blowing kisses and I was waiting in the car

Something had died yet everything around kept turning
Don't even know where you are

Somewhere along the line we lost the horizon
I've been looking around
Up and down to no avail
Someday I hope to find the horizon
I've been all around the world and nothing is clear

When all of this makes the news will they remember to tell it right
Or will devils make off in the night
Can you tell me why I got so high as I was flying

As she lays in bed
In her piece of ground
Will they remember her blessed soul or just that she lost all control
Can you tell me why she had to die alone

And people wake up
People get moving
There's a life waiting here
Get up

I really thought I was okay
I really thought I was just fine
But when I woke this time
There was nothing to take me back to sleep to take you off my mind
This time

And I keep saying over and over
And over and over again
Let it rain
Let it rain

Over and over
And over and over again
Let it rain
Let it rain
I need to hide within a storm

Draw me under
Cut me open
Take my heart
I give it to you
Call the thunder and bring the storm
Hold me close
I beg of you

And pause the tragic ending for just a moment more
Draw the dresser out and slide it to the door

And burn the air out of the room
Close the curtain and kill the lights
Only seconds left to tell you how I need you every night

Do you want to be my sidedish friend
'Cause I'll miss you if you go for good
Yeah
We can stay together 'til the very end of time

If it's understood that I don't want you hanging out with me
But I want you when I call
And we can stay together separately and we won't be lonely at all

Oh boy
Oh boy
I got to think about that
Oh boy

And do you want to be the one on hold

It's a choice to stay
It's a dream and I wanna wake

You have blood on your hands
And I'm feeling faint
And honey you can't decide

I'm a drug you don't wanna give up
Smoke your cigarettes
Make your love

You poured blood in my heart and I can't get enough
I'm drowning
Drowning and you can't decide

It's not about geography or happenstance
You need to fly and take a chance

Oh
Why don't you call when you say you will my dear
Is it because I don't belong to you anymore

And why don't you come when you say you will my dear
Do you really think it will work out wrong

Oh
And you've been lost
And I've been saved
Is that what comes from giving away

Maybe in time you will come back along to greet me

What if I leave
What if I leave
What if I leave
What if I leave
