I heard you’ve worked up a thousand reasons
Bright red dead head worse than a lesion
I’d memorize every scar across your skin
You say save grace through the broken seasons
Can’t change soulmates into soul assailants
I’ve tried, denied every melody you’re in
But I can’t win
If you’re halfway there and I don’t have the keys, I’ll wait outside
If I’m halfway there and there’s blood dripping down my severed spine
I’ll still be better than I am without you with nothing to drive to
I walk for miles down cold roads, and pay phones, and long days, and dry throats
Oh, all for you
Your voice sends me into lucid dreaming
Two times you breathe in to say you’re thinking
Just stay, I’ll face what I’ve wanted all along
If you’re halfway there and I don’t have the keys, I’ll wait outside
If I’m halfway there and there’s blood dripping down my severed spine
I’ll still be better than I am without you with nothing to drive to
I walk for miles down cold roads, and pay phones, and long days, and dry throats
Oh, all for you
If you hear me out, you’d be so sure of the truth
And if you like the sound, I’ll be right there next to you
If you’re halfway there and I don’t have the keys, I’ll wait outside
If I’m halfway there and there’s blood dripping down my severed spine
I’ll still be better than I am without you with nothing to drive to
I walk for miles down cold roads, and pay phones, long days, and dry throats
Oh, all for you
Oh, all for you
