Snake

Honey I was wrong, I had to walk down to turn

Get a good look at my ways and hell maybe I've learned something

From wringing out my shame, I had to lay down with her

If just to see it was the same thing that got me before

Honey I was right, I thought about it all night

I looked the snake right in his face

I've seen the way he blinks that eye at me

But I am not afraid, I've heard we're all gonna die

In a cascade of system failure or in the blink of an eye

Honey I would bet that I'd be just as upset

I'd be at least as mad as you were when we crawled into my bed

Oh, but I do regret running right up to the red

I hope the waters down in Assateague are clearing your head

Maybe it was wrong to meet you out in State College

As if we were still together, like I was your only option

But I'm not and you know that I'm not as true as I thought

But I'd still drive for several hours on a dime if you dropped it

Honey you were kind to tell me that it's alright

I know my fault is that I speak every damn thought in my mind

But I want you to know that I'll be holding that line

And I believe in all your mercy

And in the weight of the tide as it is pulling you back towards me

You know that I am always yours if you'll still have me

Though you're tired from that long walk over the chasm

But my idea of love is that it's lasting

But my idea of love is that it's lasting
