Please Come Back I Will Listen, I Will Behave, I Will Toe The Line [Edit]
How long until one of us needs air?
How long until …
There is no moon, there is no smile
A life down here is not worthwhile
We made a promise under stars
Talked of destinations near and afar
We’d stand together for all time
Now I the second hand, well I’m hours behind
And I can’t wind you back
I can’t reel you in for fear the lifeline snaps
Please come back, I will listen
I will behave, I will toe the line
Please come back
Do you want to hear what thinks I, no?
Well you can close your ears switch off your tears
And ignore my bad advice
I think you’ve been wrong all along
I think our warring factions should all come home
I think that we’re built for land
Leave black gold buried under sand and roam no more
Just limp from home to home
Make no attempt to sail too far from the shore
Please come back, I will listen
I will behave, I will toe the line
Please come back
How long? Please come back
I will listen, I will behave
I will toe the line
Can we two not salvage something from the wreckage?
Strewn across the five years, half a decade truly wasted
