Leave It Alone Lyrics
I'd walk the water to get back to you
And where I was complete
We found you scattered by the highway side
Too soon to be released
Gathered the pieces up
And cleaned the places where you were undone
And washed the wreckage out
Unfinished, all the thoughts that we'd begun
I came to burn the sky
And tear away the beauty that it sows
If I could rape the day
And find the things I thought I'd always known
Leave it alone again, tonight
Leave it alone again, tonight
Leave it alone again, tonight
I laid your arms out long, untwisted there
And shaped what I could find
Unmade the most of it then left the rest
The parts unrecognized
My reconstruction was
The only way for one last look at you
I lost the sense of it
The absolution that we never knew
Leave it alone again, tonight
Leave it alone again, tonight
And it takes me back from this place here
From this place here
I came to burn the sky
And tear away the beauty that it sows
If I could rape the day
And find the things I thought I'd always known
Leave it alone again, tonight
Leave it alone again, tonight
Leave it alone again, tonight
Leave it alone again
And it takes me back from this place here
From this place here, it takes me over
Might be lost in this place here
In this place here, it takes me on
Tonight, leave it alone
Tonight, leave it alone
Tonight, leave it alone
Tonight, leave it alone
