Album No Matter How Narrow

Lyrics

I’ve been clearing the air
Of every connection that we had lost
A Criminal thought
That you paid so much room to multiple
And left you to soak
In conversations with a door
You could not close
And I was intertwined for the first time with my own lines
As we, both crossed a devastating line
In the flood of time it never mattered why
When we choose, sides and we were both right
I have been opening mail addressed to the man I use to be
But a sick old voice retreats from my lips each time I speak
What a practical joke
But you let it have you
Didn’t that prove my point
And I was intertwined for the first time with my own lines
As we, both crossed a devastating line
In the flood of time it never mattered why
When we choose, sides and we were both right
Was it enough for you
The vessel they poured you into
Was all the damage done
Out in the saffron field
You were so aggravated
Missing your chance to make your mark
So you tore apart
Which you had left inside your chest
But if you regret taking that step
You haven’t yet
So I threw it all back
The love that I didn’t yet deserve
It wringing us out
As though it was suffering through everything that I’ve done
But it’s over my head
How everything washes up again
I’ve spent most of life ruling things out
Sinking my teeth into your every bit of doubt
If I was coming clean
Would it reach you from what I seen
It was all true
So much left to grieve
Couldn’t hurt you to leave it be
Just for one day
Just to see straight

I' ve been clearing the air
Of every connection that we had lost
A Criminal thought
That you paid so much room to multiple
And left you to soak
In conversations with a door
You could not close
And I was intertwined for the first time with my own lines
As we, both crossed a devastating line
In the flood of time it never mattered why
When we choose, sides and we were both right
I have been opening mail addressed to the man I use to be
But a sick old voice retreats from my lips each time I speak
What a practical joke
But you let it have you
Didn' t that prove my point
And I was intertwined for the first time with my own lines
As we, both crossed a devastating line
In the flood of time it never mattered why
When we choose, sides and we were both right
Was it enough for you
The vessel they poured you into
Was all the damage done
Out in the saffron field
You were so aggravated
Missing your chance to make your mark
So you tore apart
Which you had left inside your chest
But if you regret taking that step
You haven' t yet
So I threw it all back
The love that I didn' t yet deserve
It wringing us out
As though it was suffering through everything that I' ve done
But it' s over my head
How everything washes up again
I' ve spent most of life ruling things out
Sinking my teeth into your every bit of doubt
If I was coming clean
Would it reach you from what I seen
It was all true
So much left to grieve
Couldn' t hurt you to leave it be
Just for one day
Just to see straight
