i know how this life starts
i know how it ends
i'll save up for something we never begin
thread in the heart strings/spun out instead
their empty forevers kept under my bed
now i'm shaping a new breath
to call you a friend

the winter inside me can't quiet this heart
surrender your armor and i'll take it apart
i'll be the last of the martyrs when the last summer comes
i'll gather up stars and i'll build you a sun

i'll scale these miles and never change
climb inside i'm still the same
but i'll decide when to let you go

(it trembles to life and it turns you on)
(it trembles to life and it turns you on)

however you call me, i'll sleep through the ring
with last year's romances polluting my dreams
so come be my locust caught in the leaves
rattling down as i'm dragging my feet

it trembles to life and turns you up
it trembles to life and turns me on
it trembles to life and it turns

somehow i'll turn you on
somehow i'll turn you on
let it go
just let it go

love, tell me... if i'm asking too much
crash back into friends
you know it's never enough
i know how this life starts
i know how it ends
