lyrics

Lock me here with the words that you said
what was meant? you say you're not making sense
there are parts of my life that I can't control
I wanted to see you and I didn't

keeping gold, hung over my head
(you're for remembering not for taking back)
don't talk to May 'till you know that I've left
(keep me in your heart, Yellow Jacket)

Hey Yellow Jacket keep the scarf around your neck
it's freezing all morning and I'd hate to see you shiver
it's not concern that I'd feel for you, why would I?
you've made your choices without me, three rings on your finger

walking down the street we'll talk, justify the morality
to suffer not the fools but suffer for their families
October again, the best time of year
when shit's not sorted out we'll get to that eventually
when there's snow in the air

this is me, your heart's in my arms where it'll stay
and every time you look away I'm fading

I have known for a while now that what you feel for me
is wonder at the way that I talk all quiet and undercut
like leaves falling on the lawn
but keep it to yourself, know when I tell you these jokes
that I hate it when you smile
now fall, fall, fall

fall apart in bed your rings are in my pocket
and I shouldn't be proud of my stance but I am

so tell me what I'm feeling
and feed me seeds of anger
since my eyes refuse to cry
let me settle as a singer
write a chorus for the morning
as cold as the northern wind
raining from my fingertips
runs up you spine the down again
tell me why we crawl beneath our dreams
reveal to me the mystery
but there's no answer
it's just what we do but why?

is it what I fear?
these days are weird
when the clouds have cleared
catch me down by the water I can't care about anything, about you
today through tomorrow

this is me, your heart's in my arms I could crush it
and never see you again
keep your rings in sun in shine
and I'll leave then
oh the final time I look away

we're bleeding
we're bleeding
we're bleeding
we're bleeding
we're bleeding
we're bleeding we're bleeding

right!
