Leave It Alone

I'd walk the water to get back to you

And where I was complete

We found you scattered by the highway side

Too soon to be released

Gathered the pieces up

And cleaned the places where you were undone

And washed the wreckage out

Unfinished, all the thoughts that we'd begun

I came to burn the sky

And tear away the beauty that it sows

If I could reap the day

And find the things I though I'd always known

Leave it alone again, tonight

Leave it alone again, tonight

Leave it alone again, tonight

I laid your arms out long, untwisted there

And shaped what I could find

Unmade the most of it then left the rest

The parts, unrecognized

My reconstruction was

The only way for one last look at you

I lost the sense of it

The absolution that we never knew

Leave it alone again, tonight

Leave it alone again, tonight

And it takes me back from this place here

From this place here

I came to burn the sky

And tear away the beauty that it holds

If I could reap the day

And find the things I though I'd always known

Leave it alone again, tonight

Leave it alone again, tonight

Leave it alone again, tonight

Leave it alone again

And it takes me back from this place here

From this place here, it takes me over

Might be lost in this place here

In this place here, it takes me on

Tonight, leave it alone

Tonight, leave it alone

Tonight, leave it alone

Tonight, leave it alone
