Please Forgive

Well, I’m sorry for breaking the chain
After leading you out to the fog and the rain
I never meant to cause you any pain
That cliché corrodes with every refrain

But please forgive me
I don’t want to leave [a] burning bridge
In time, you will forget me
If you forgive

Well, I’m sorry for bruising the clocks
And for loving the sound the make when they stop
Like a razed violin bow still slices the dust
I heard music in the air, so I climbed up and [got] it

But please forgive me
I don’t want to leave [the] burning bridge
In time, you might forget me
If you forgive

Baptisms by fire, walking on wires
Truths too obscure to teach
When getting out of bed, clearing my head
Opening the window, [they seemed] out of reach

Well, I’m sorry for blocking the light
How do you [shoot] [day], for dark as night
I pushed a stone up the hill and watch it roll out of sight
And now it’s snowing in April, I know they said that it might

But please forgive me
I don’t want to leave [the] burning bridge
In time, you could forget me
If you forgive
