everybody knows it's you
taking old sorrow someplace new
we hear you singing through the walls
and we saw you run just like a god damned dog
you can spend your money, you can stare me down
and live by the rules of your springtime town
but I hate to see you take that weight
when it don't mean a thing to play it so straight
bring it to me
when there ain't no answer
and a dream's no shelter
bring it to me
when they lied to you and you just had to let them leave
we don't need to understand
where our longing may lead, what desire demands
you're still a stranger, still salt water's son
when the feeling returns you can see what you've done
can you say the words you used to sing?
you used to remember everything
but this is different, fear just fades away
like the weight of a ring, like the heat of the day
bring it to me
let your heart come calling
in the early morning
bring it to me
I want you just the way you are, bruised and bittersweet
