Youâre the kind of rhythm that I need to run
Youâre the kind of lie that made the lights go out
All that I did can never be undone
But I donât understand the loss you talk about
And one by one your lives are undone
I know you recall the time
We both looked ahead and I really should have said
Clench your fist a little closer
Clench your fist a little closer to me
Clench your fist a little closer
Do your worst and Iâll stay
The side of your tongue is a crowded space
Anxious words are waiting there to be spit out
Blank spots on the map are the only place
People like the story that youâre spinning out
And one by one your lives are undone
I know you recall the time
The sparks in your head made me think you finally said
Clench your fist a little closer
Clench your fist a little closer to me
Clench your fist a little closer
Do your worst and Iâll stay
âCause I donât want to go
Donât want to know
Didnât you know
That I do what I say?
I wonât stay away next time you come around
I want to hear the lies that made the lights go out
Votive dreams are all I have to slake my thirst
For the kind of fire that I will never doubt
âCause I donât want to go
Donât want to go
Didnât you know what youâll do if I stay?
