Washington State Lyrics by Tigers on Trains

Foundry

0

[Verse 1]
So I could just lay here
And watch your skin turn into salt
And breathe deep in relief
As you start to evaporate
And I too will dry out
And thin until I am no more
Just as God intended
And we will meet beneath the tongues of flame
Called by our Hebrew names
[Verse 2]
The white wind, your black lungs
A mass of grey inside your chest
A simple equation to somehow set your head straight
A red box with ribbons
To house all of our troubles
A weak knee, an earthquake
The fact that I could never come back clean
At lеast that's how it seemed
[Bridge]
So I'll pretend to undеrstand
While you bury me in sand
And build your house upon the shaking patch of earth
So I've been giving it a chance
With my head between my hands
But it is just too much to know that you are happier alone
[Verse 3]
A contract, a constant
A phrase that will not leave my mouth
The garden of Eden
Hung up around your shoulders
So I could have waited
Out on an empty threshing floor
And quoted the gospels
I guess it's better that I did not try
I just don't know why
