Lyrics

I threw the first stone, I broke the door
And someone got stuck inside and fell to the floor
And I drove for hours, landlocked and blank
Hills all around me with no one to thank
And when I got back here and climbed up my tree
And nobody saw me, I watched them so carefully
Trapped like mosquitoes fucking blood from your arms
Crushed so serenely without an alarm
But you still walked me back
To the room when it was cold
And we were walking crooked
I kept the copies, I kept receipts
I kept the blisters on the bottom of my feet
Well, I'm your assistant or maybe you're mine
But either way you see it, we won't make a dime
Because we don't want it easy, no, we don't like the woods
We don't take precaution when we know that we should
But if we both just admit it, that we both make mistakes
Then I think we can handle all the change and the headaches
But you still got me out
When you kicked me twice
And took the keys and put them in my hands
There's always something you're waiting on
But if you just go now, you can leave
You can just go free
I fell asleep, accidentally so
And I didn't wake up till an hour ago
So I stood in my window, still half-asleep
With the stone in my hand, the criticisms I keep
I can't write conclusions, they never make sense
'Cause I can't end a story when I'm still on the fence
So I threw the last stone and that set me free
So I wrote no conclusion and came down from my tree
