Such As It Ends

(album: You're Awful, I Love You - 2008)

I've been losing sleep for days.
You've been searching through the deserts and the caves.
Your postcards hit me in the waves
sadly stinging me with songs of yesterday.

[Chorus]
Love, such as it ends
breaking the hearts that wouldn't bend
closes the doors you used to listen through.
(But it goes on...) Love, such as it ends
into the flames, we'll start again
and in the end I'll be with you.

You've been burning up for days
trying to gather all the figures in the clay.
You know they can't all be saved.
Leave the weak ones, find a modicum of shade.

[Chorus]
Love, such as it ends
breaking the hearts that wouldn't bend
closes the doors you used to listen through.
(But it goes on...) Love, such as it ends
into the flames, we'll start again
and in the end I'll be with you.

I've been vacant for so long, but you were there.
You look so tired. Now just please,
love let me take it on my shoulders
and we might make it home.
Love, such as it ends
breaking the hearts that wouldn't bend...

[Chorus]
Love, such as it ends
breaking the hearts that wouldn't bend
closes the doors you used to listen through.
(But it goes on...) Love, such as it ends
into the flames, we'll start again
and in the end I'll be with you.

Love, such as it ends... Love, such as it ends...
and in the end, I'll be with you.
