Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Careful of the morning
Careful of the night
Careful of them hunting
The ideas we leave behind
Those preachers and their stories
Drunkards and their vows
We clung on to each other
There is no one else around
[Verse 2]
Tendons that we are
Tendons stretched too far
Tangled up and heavy
Winding steady, tender in the dark
We're fractions of a star
Held above a story for a moment only
[Verse 3]
I can't decide what needs building
And what needs digging
What needs filling in
This love, this love is like a swarm
We can't see through it
We can't hold thorns
[Verse 4]
Tendons that we are
Tendons stretched too far
Tangled up and heavy
Winding steady, tender in the dark
We're fractions of a star
Held above a story for a moment only
[Verse 5]
Until it breaks clean
Until it takes me
Until we hollow the thought
Nothing this close can enjoy permanence
I think I understand
That past is circling
Nothing that's lit can be in flames this long
[Verse 6]
You said, you said I had all the fighting, maybe
[Verse 7]
Maybe it's something
Maybe it's real
Not faded like flowers
From yesterday's field
Aimless on a fated road
This life it keeps us hunting
'Cause I'm not home
[Verse 8]
Throw my bones, empty me
Held so tight, that's all I see
Let your grief pour into me
Tell me now, is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?
[Verse 9]
Let yourself pour into me
Tendons that we are
Tendons stretched too far
