Put me on a boat and cut the linenThe fishing’s been much better but the weather’s finenAnd all my friends are here to kill the timenAnd all the things I love are in rewindnAnd I wouldn’t care if they all just disappearednCause you know I’ll be coming back here every yearnThe promise of the fallnAnd winter’s lazy callnThey’ve got me pinned against the wallnAnd all we are is all in allnnAnd I’m not afraid to dienAs long as you’re by my sidenWe can sleep the whole year throughnAnd then I will up and leavenTo show you that I believenIn the way that things used to bennPut me in a box and close the lidnPut me on a shelf, keep me well-hidnAnd everything I said and everything I didnAnd everyone I’ve known since I was a kidnAnd keep me there until I’m oldnUntil I know that I have wisened upnCause right now I’m too weaknMy mouth can barely speaknMy days are cold and bleaknAnd we are on the brinknOf a long civil warnBetween my heart and yoursnWe will fight by ourselvesnDon’t let me be a liarnIt was just friendly firenWent on for a bit too longnnPoint me to the truth and make me learnnEverything I have but never earnednLike the way your heart always returnednAfter I had left it unconcerednAnd I will be much better this time, I swearnI’ll pull you back in time and I’ll keep you therenThe dead hand of the pastnMaking time go by so fastnMaking all my troubles lastnAnd I’d rather die alone in the grassnnDon’t let me hestitatenAnd don’t sit around and waitnWhile the others are having funnAnd I like it better herenWhere I can be cold all yearnAt least I’ll be by myselfnAh ha ha ha
