Lyrics

[Intro]
You know that I can't love you more
You know that I can't love you more
[Verse 1]
Silver tongue, they'll soon be gone
When the sunlight hits the room
Lay down with them if you want
Watch their breath and feel the cold
[Refrain]
Raise your hand, bite your tongue
Conversation is over and done
Will you let 'em out? Will you let 'em in?
Will you ever know when it's the tipping point, the tipping point?
[Chorus]
So who's that ghost knocking at my door?
You know that I can't love you more
What's that shape climbin' over my wall?
You know that I can't love you more
[PostChorus]
You know that I can't love you more
[Verse 2]
Winter done, they'll soon be gone
From this unforgiving place
To that vague and distant void
Where the sunlight splits the I
[Refrain]
Life is cruel, life is tough
Life is crazy, then it all turns to dust
Will you let 'em out? Will you let 'em in?
Will you ever know when it's the tipping point, the tipping point?
The tipping point, the tipping point
The tipping point, the tipping point
The tipping point, the tipping point
[Instrumental]
So who's that ghost knocking at my door?
You know that I can't love you more
What's that shape climbin' over my wall?
You know that I can't love you more
[Verse 3]
So who's that ghost knocking at my door?
You know that I can't love you more
What's that shape climbin' over my wall?
You know that I can't love you more
Love you more, love you more, love you more
