Take & Take

Brief introductions and drinks and concussions
And we’re off to bed
And I thought, «oh how clever», we’re in this together
Cutting bones into bread
Autumn leaves would take our freedom
We won’t be swayed
I should’ve been scared when she killed my canary
And told me to stay
Don’t wake your friends they all know
Just pack up your patience and go
You can take my heart and take my home and take my breath and take my bones away
Baby you won’t take my name
Months went by mad cat past see-saws and hi-hats
And I lost my nerve
But you were hopeless, so hopeless and I was young and unfocused
It was all that we deserved
You started a fight all cause brown turned to white
And I said I was done
And it was senseless and shocking to see faith come a-knocking
When I jumped the gun
Don’t wake your friends they all know
Just pack up your patience and go
You can take my heart and take my home and take my breath and take my bones away
Baby you won’t take my name
Don’t wake your friends they all know
Just pack up your patience and go
You can take my heart and take my home and take my breath and take my bones away
Baby you won’t take my name
