"The Vine" Lyrics

girl you're clumsy as a first kiss I know
and nothing like the motions of the waves
and all of the pity for the dead you forgot
sends a passion through my veins
I've seen you slowly run your beauty like a vine
but I'm the stone
I can't ever seem to let this go, it's all gone

I'm neck high in a river with concrete shoes tied
I told you I'd find a way
I'm here to make sure we're alive

You looked so sad, I turned my head
this will not pass
Memory tells me why you're here
I can't look back

and although we're lonely in a world of endless arms
let's try to say more careful things (when we are lost)
This means so much to me, by the way it's not enough
God knows you're pretty and a killer when you speak
(but I'm a rock)
and I've watched you fade away
I knew that you'd find your way
all patterns leading back to me

You looked so good, and turned my head
one more last stand
memory tells me why you're here
I can't look back
memory tells me why you're here
I can't look back
