A diamond and a tether - ep version Lyrics by Death Cab for Cutie

0

Pity
Take pity on me
'Cause Im not half the man that I should be
Always turning to run
From the people I should not be afraid of
And darlin' you should know
That I have fantasies about being alone
Its like love is a lesson
That I can't learn
So I make the same mistakes at each familiar turn
[Chorus]
I know you can't hold out forever
Waiting on a diamond and a tether
From a boy who won't swim
But who will dip his toe in
Just to keep you here with him
Ive got this habit I abhor
When we go out Im always watching the door
As if theres someone Im gonna see
Who could out do the things that you do to me
[Chorus]
I know you can't hold out forever
Waiting on a diamond and a tether
From a boy who won't fly
Who will take to the skies
If he thinks that youre about to say goodbye
Pity, take pity on me
'Cause Im not half the man that I should be
And I dont blame you youve had enough
With all these empty promises and countless bluffs
[Chorus]
'Cause I know you can't hold out forever
Waiting on a diamond and a tether
From a boy who won't jump
When he falls in love
He just stands with his toes on the edge
And he waits for it to disappear again
