Here she comes
|
All she sees she keeps
|
No one gonna take it away
|
Her eyes are young and old
|
The kind that ancients sold
|
To celebrate a victory
|
The trail she leaves
|
Is dark, doubt and dread
|
And all the mouths she's ever fed
|
Round, round, round like the world she turns
|
It's a playback stuck inside your head
|
|
Yeah, I see you for the first time
|
And baby I just wanna leave
|
Yeah, I know you, it's the last time
|
I'm all messed up
|
I got nothing to take your place
|
|
There's a past she keeps
|
In a depression jar
|
She opens like a secret cave
|
Who she was before
|
And what her life's become
|
Is built upon the love she craves
|
I'm going down down down
|
There's nothing here
|
And baby you can't hold me up
|
I'm going down down down
|
Even deeper still
|
'Cause this world has gotten so fucked up
|
|
Yeah, I see you for the first time
|
And baby I just wanna leave
|
Yeah, I know you it's the last time
|
I'm all messed up
|
I got nothing to take your place
|
Yeah take your place
|
|
Yeah, I see you for the first time
|
And baby I just wanna leave
|
Yeah, I know you, it's the last time
|
I'm all messed up
|
I got nothing to take your place
|
Yeah take your place
|
Yeah take your place
|
Yeah take your place
|
|

Take Your Place
