my tears ricochet - the long pond studio sessions

[00:34.99] We gather here, we line up

[00:38.50] Weepin' in a sunlit room, and

[00:42.56] If I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes too

[00:49.31] Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe

[00:53.81] All the hell you gave me?

[00:57.31] 'Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you

[01:01.31] 'Til my dying day

[01:07.06] I didn't have it in myself to go with grace

[01:14.31] And you're the hero flying around, saving face

[01:21.31] And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?

[01:27.06] Cursing my name, wishing I stayed

[01:31.06] Look at how my tears ricochet

[01:48.81] We gather stones, never knowing what they'll mean

[01:56.31] Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring

[02:03.06] You know I didn't want to have to haunt you

[02:07.56] But what a ghostly scene

[02:10.81] You wear the same jewels that I gave you

[02:15.06] As you bury me

[02:20.56] I didn't have it in myself to go with grace

[02:27.81] 'Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I was brave

[02:35.56] And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?

[02:41.06] Cursing my name, wishing I stayed

[02:45.06] Look at how my tears ricochet

[02:48.56] And I can go anywhere I want

[02:52.31] Anywhere I want, just not home

[02:55.81] And you can aim for my heart, go for blood

[02:59.56] But you would still miss me in your bones

[03:03.06] And I still talk to you (when I'm screaming at the sky)

[03:10.56] And when you can't sleep at night (you hear my stolen lullabies)

[03:26.61] I didn't have it in myself to go with grace

[03:34.86] And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves

[03:41.86] You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same

[03:47.62] Cursing my name, wishing I stayed

[03:51.11] You turned into your worst fears

[03:54.40] And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain

[03:58.70] Crossing out the good years

[04:01.20] And you're cursing my name, wishing I stayed

[04:06.20] Look at how my tears ricochet
