Flesh For Bones

I'm sitting here frozen in this bed I made
Considering the weight of the bricks I laid
Now that I'm through
One by one, sealed every crack that I could slip between
To find my way back
Find my way back home to you

I'm burning all my bridges
With these matches I light
To illuminate my path
To what is right
And even if it's true
What they say
That you can't go back home
Once you've cast it away
I would still have left tonight

You know, baby
I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones
I would, I would, I would, I would, I would
You know, baby
I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones
I would, I would, I would, I would, I would

I carry with me, on my way
All the ghosts of all the love
That I let slip away
The heavy weight of promises made
That if I could exonerate
I might just lift off today

I'm burning all my bridges
With these matches I light
To illuminate my path
To what is right
And even if it's true
What they say
That you can't go back home
Once you've cast it away
I would still have left tonight

You know, baby
I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones
I would, I would, I would, I would, I would
You know, baby
I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones
I would, I would, I would, I would, I would

I chased your memory from my mind
But every song I write is just
A wish to find you, near or far
Through all the tears and all the time
That I have been running blind
I still ain't got to where you are

And I'm burning all my bridges
With these matches I light
To illuminate my path
To what is right
And even if it's true
What they say
That you can't go back home
Once you've cast it away
I would still have left tonight

You know, baby
I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones
I would, I would, I would, I would, I would
You know, baby
I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones
I would, I would, I would, I would, I would
