On which to build, the monument that will commemorate our times
But please, return, return to the person that you were
And I will do the same
I was standing there with all of my possessions
The prisoner I was and know all that has spoiled in your heart
There's still a few holes that let in a little rain
So let each tiny act of charity be common ground
Baby, that's a fact
'Cause it's too hard to belong to someone who is gone
And blind him with your kindness and he'll make war, oh war
Alright boys, help me out
Like the kind that converted you to me so long ago
Ya, he's a know it all
On who you were before
Who will surely speed you on your way
And claim all that has spoiled in your heart
So hurry up and run, to the one that you love
He'll know all that has spoiled in your heart
But I'm not gonna bless you with such compliments
My compass spins, the wilderness remains
The refrigerator is whining, so I've got reason to complain
And I felt closer to you than you ever would have known
And it's been crying on my shingles, the floorboards moan under my feet
And know all that has spoiled in your heart
You should count your change before you are even out the door
But the way you taught me to just watch it all roll by
And tie him up in your likeness and he'll become, become
But you will, so
So, hurry up and run to the one that you love
Some degrading psalm of praise
It was always horribly convenient and happening too fast
And it is not these hiding places that have kept us innocent
Oh, once too often, I have retreated into the depths of my despair
Exchanging our infections through a drawer
Don't let the forest glow over that path you came there by
Piled higher than a house
You can save face but you won't ever save your soul
I built a barricade to block you on the road
Because the truth is that gossip is as good as gospel in this town
And blind him with your kindness and he'll make war, oh war
And though you swear you've found another
So hurry up and run to the one that you love
Now, I tell myself I've mended under these patches of blue sky
On who you were you before
Oh, yes, you should
So we have learned to be as faithless, stand behind bulletproof glass
