Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I saw from the cathedral
You were watching me
Yes, I saw from the cathedral
What I should be
[Verse 2]
So take my time
And take my lies
'Cause all the others
They wanna take my life
[Verse 3]
And I watch with an intent, basic
Well, It's the same for you
You hold your hand
And it's all fine laced, and
What would you make me do?
[Verse 4]
So take my time
And take my lies
'Cause all the others
They wanna take my life
[Verse 5]
Serious for the wintertime
To wrench my soul
Whole cotton, whole cotton ears
But I know there must be
Yes, I know there must be
Yes, I know there must be a place to go
[Verse 6]
Then you saw me from the cathedral
Well, I'm an ancient heart
Yes, you saw me from the cathedral
Well, here we are just falling apart
[Verse 7]
You catch me
I am tired
I want all that you are
[Verse 8]
And I saw from the cathedral
You were leaving me
Yes, I saw from the cathedral
You could not see to see
[Verse 9]
So take my time
And take my lies
'Cause all the others
They want to take my life
