about

"An apology to a friend when we were both feeling the lowest of lows - one of those times that you just want to disappear, but cling to the hope that things will be alright. I tried to bring this out with fragile harp melodies and Jesse and I decided to amplify the drama with swelling cellos. " - Emilie Kahn

lyrics

-- Lyrics --

Carry me down where the sky meets the ground
Where the water’s still clean, where I’ve planted your tree

Been watching it grow since so long ago
And ripped off the leaves while they were still green

Take my head and push it under the water
Take my hand; it can only bring me closer

But in my heart I know what’s wrong and right
I don’t have the strength and my wit is too slight
But you take all I have with the bat of an eye
Still I wanted so bad to make it right

So we wait and we pray and count down the days
Till you pack up and you move away
I don’t know what’s worse; is it a gift or a curse?
And which path is right?
Will it be fight or flight?

Take my head and push it deep as you can
Take my hand; it can only bring me closer

But in my heart I know what’s wrong and right
I don’t have the strength and my wit is too slight
But you take all I have with the bat of an eye
With your cold hearted, unkind and unwilling twisted mind
You think you have the right

And in the middle of the night she woke
Kicked me out into the street saying go home
There is no room here for two lying whores
But I want her so bad to know that I didn’t want her to go
