lyrics

I slept in your grace when you went away.
I writhed in your sheets; you left me the key.
And I was entranced when you felt me in your heart.

I laid on the floor, words all to myself,
Quietly so, for there was nothing else,
Vacant as a kite, and you held the string.

Oh, oh, to you, to you.
I, I, I'll sing.
Oh, take me back to the center,
The alley where I carried you away.

Here I am now looking at your face,
In frames that obey, as they fade to gray,
I am a mess, but I find peace in these threads.

I will collapse in this wooden dream,
A castle of hopes, bursting at the seams.
And as you are gone, I can see you in the windows.

I drift away, swimming in you,
Fingertips, bathed in perfume,
And I will carry you through fire,
As long as you take me home tonight.
As long as you take me home tonight.
