Leave It Alone

i'd walk the water to get back to you

and where i was complete

we found you scattered by the highway side too

soon to be released

gathered the pieces up and clean the places

where you were undone

and washed the wreckage out unfinished all the

thoughts that we'd begun

i came to burn the sky and tear away

the beauty that it sows

if i could rape the day and find the things i thought

i'd always known

leave it alone again tonight

i laid your arms out long untwisted there

and shaped what i could find

unmade the most of it and then left the rest

the parts unrecognized

my reconstruction was the only way

for one last look at you

i lost the sense of absolution

that we never knew

leave it alone again tonight

leave it alone again tonight

and it takes me back from this place here

it takes me back from this place here

i came to burn the sky and tear away

the beauty that it sows

i came to rape the day and find the things

i thought i'd always known

leave it alone again tonight

and it takes me back from this place here

from this place here it takes me over

and it might be lost in this place here

from this place here it takes me on

tonight leave it alone
