we were so devastatingly
out of our heads
i tried for forty nights to leave,
not leave you for dead
my wrists had grown so tired from bleeding
and pleading again ...
look at me
put the gun away
look at me
and release me
look at me
put the gun away
put the gun away
put the gun away
would it be perfect if i said
what shouldn't be said?
i'll let you hold the reins
i'll even, even give you a leg up
to have just forty more, i'd bleed...
i'm pleading again
look at me
put the gun away
look at me
and release me
look at me
put the gun away
put the gun away
put the gun away
forty days and forty nights
that we could be breathing
we could be breathing again
forty days and forty nights
that we could be breathing
we could be breathing again
look at me
put the gun away
look at me
and release me
look at me
put the gun away
put the gun away
put the gun away
look at me
put the gun away
look at me
and release me
look at me
put the gun away
put the gun away
put the gun away
look at me.
my father, my son,
my holy ghost
you know the things
i've missed the most
to feel his skin upon my skin
god let me do it all again
just to feel him again
just to feel him again
just to feel him again
just to feel him again
god let me give you back these wings
i'll trade them for the little things
all these fantastic dreams of flight
i'd even give up all my light
just to feel him again
just to feel him again
just to feel him again
just to feel him again
god let me do it all again
to feel his skin upon my skin
my eyes to settle in his gaze
to feel his focus on me
just to feel him again
just to feel him again
just to feel him again
just to feel him again
just to feel him again
just to feel him again
