Leave it Alone


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 clean 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
And 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
