Oh I'd wash it away If I could see the flowing water Nighttime light and dusty glow That bring the heat and fireflies
Oh I'd run If your stare could find me If you smirkes, refused to share Yes I'd win you in that dare
Too may places, pull me away Just empty traces, nothing stays What I'd give and what I'd trade For all you flickers, you flickers of the light You're just a bunch of lies I tell myself To help me sleep at night
Oh I'd wash it away If I could see that it would last If i could just convince the past To bend, to let me by
Oh I'd rune To the letters that you wrote me To the brick, the wilting vine Yes I keep those in my mind
Too many faces, force me to stay If being back would make me whole If different times had different goals But just new wars and, just new holes Keep coming up again and losing sight Oh help me sleep at night
I'd give it in a trade If I could make the color fade If I could hear a serenade A crackling band, walz two and three Just feel your hand Light on my back Whisper that we're never going back there
Too many places pull me away You empzy traces, c'ant ya stay What I'd give and what I'd trade For you all you flickers, you flickers of the light My lovely bunch of lies I tell myself To help me sleep at night
I'd give it in a trade If I could make the color fade If I could hear a serenade A crackling band, walz two and three Just feel your hand Light on my back Whisper that we're never going back there Never going back there Never going back there
