These Things

If I could be your place to hide I'd tell you the sweetest lies Knowing we won't get out alive I'd tell you that we'll be okay If I could be your mercy seat Where your secrets come to sleep And, not the reason that you weep, I wouldn't be alone With my heart in my throat And my stomach on the floor I'm beaten and I'm broken, but I'm coming back for more And I miss you like an eagle with a broken wing Misses the skies above Where he would watch over these things If I could be up there with you I would only tell the truth, and if it hurts like pulling a tooth Then it only hurts one time Well, I'd protect you from their lies But the ones I tell would fly Circling up above our heads, to feast on a love that's dead Your body close to mine, my heart in your hand If we're gonna die together Let's do it to the rhythm of the band And I'll dance to your beating heart And you'll dance on my grave Just promise that you'll break my neck When you know I can't be saved From all these things All these things Keep me wide awake at night All these things, used to keep my tunnel bright Now, all these things make me scared of getting old 'Cause you're no longer here and now all I have to hold Are all these things
