Only Way Out Lyrics by Mount Moriah

Mount Moriah

2012

Polaroid of you
In your best blue dress
Silos and rolling hills
Your eyes in brilliant focus
We learned how our bodies worked
Soft and familiar
But you couldn't shake the fear of
Something so similar
You return to him
'Cos he reminds you of your father
And it helps you sleep at night
And brings you comfort
I can't seem to throw away
The letters or the pictures
For some kind of truth
Or proof that all of this really happened
If you would've tried
I would've tried
If commitment's what you wanted
I would've been the anchor by your side
If you would've stayed
Well, I would've stayed
But the only way to love you now
Is to walk away
You walked bar to bar
A wicker basket held high
Selling roses to the drunkards
And I bought one every time
Stumble up the stairs
Hand in hand, up to the roof
Love is something that will lead you
Not something you can choose
So many years have passed
Since all that wine
You're a mother now
And how I bet you made a beautiful bride
I can't seem to throw away
The letters or the pictures
For some kind of truth
Or proof that all of this really happened
If you would've tried
I would've tried
If commitment's what you wanted
I would've been the anchor by your side
If you would've stayed
Well, I would've stayed
But the only way to love you now
Is to walk away
If you would've prayed...
O, how I did pray
But the only way to love something
Is to give it away
