lyrics

Out in the cold with the lights off
You were seen changing your world
In with the soft cotton binding
I have seen it
I watch the planet twirl
I have seen you
I’m just that kind of girl

I have waited patiently
But the spaces never fill
I discarded evidence
That the river never will

I would take you back to mayflies
I would guide you back to god
I would read you the very beginning
I would pray for another flood

But the end is moving fast
And in the middle
You can’t get back what you had

I have seen evil incarnate
He wears a smile and his hand
Outstretched between us in offering
Made heavy
By frankincense and myrrh
Don’t you take it
You’re not that kind of girl

I have waited patiently
But the spaces never fill
I discarded evidence
That the river never will

I would find each puzzle piece and
I would baptize them in blood
I would yank out every last tooth and
I would wash us both in the flood

But the end is moving fast
And in the middle
You can’t get back what you had

I threw the books in the fireplace
You were strung up like a cow
Skinless and red-raw and struggling
We all saw it
We all watched the fingers curl
He has seen you
Guess you’re just that kind of girl

I have waited patiently
But the spaces never fill
I discarded evidence
That the river never will

I would swim you to the shoreline
I would bring you back to us
I would show them what they’ve been missing
I would stand strong before the flood

But the end is moving fast
And in the middle
You can’t get back what you had

Nearly a decade late to the Taz party, but I’m so glad to be aware of it now! I don’t know what elixir Griffin put into the album but I would like to drink a gallon of it. katiegreene137
