Nothing To Come Back To
Andrew Horn©
Hope is the match
is the flame
that lights your wick
It burns you down
tragic bound
to your dynamite stick
It blows a hole
breaks the stone
of your foundation
There's a highway now
in and out
of your one time mountain
So should i sink with this ship
that tried to cross your ocean?
The Captian i miss
Im sailing your lips
how i wish they would open
Everyword i've said has been like bread
rested on your tongue and tasted
Rip my words apart with your teeth
only swallow what you think you need
THERE IS NO CHORUS IN OUR SONG
WE'VE BEEN WRITIN THE VERSE AS WE JUST MOVE ALONG
WE'VE GOT NOTHING TO COMEBACK TO
I PLAY THE CHORDS AND YOUR WORDS ARE THE LYRICS
OVER AND OVER WE GO DELIRIOUS
I spent so long wacthing you bloom before you withered
I ran to get water for you but you fell to winter
I thought you were strong
I thought you'd hold on
But our roots had hardened
Found out i was wrong
That you belonged in someone else's garden
You are my only reason to write
ten thousand words on a blank page
But a full head at night
THERE IS NO CHORUS IN OUR SONG
WE'VE BEEN WRITIN THE VERSE AS WE JUST MOVE ALONG
WE'VE GOT NOTHING TO COMEBACK TO
I PLAY THE CHORDS AND YOUR WORDS ARE THE LYRICS
OVER AND OVER WE GO DELIRIOUS
