Conductor

Someone once told me this is how it would go
And I’ve been waiting with pins in my heels
Something in leaving, well it hurts like hell
But then everything bleeds when it breaks
Oh, dear conductor
These heartstrings of mine could play the saddest song
Oh, dear conductor
These heartstrings of mine could play the saddest song
And don’t you know that we’re a mess
In cables and pulleys and crossroads
What I build for one isn’t always the same for two
And don’t you know that something’s changing
And maybe it’s good
But I’d be fine if I was staying with you
There’s no expectation when you’re starting from scratch
No surprises or unanswered prayers
And still I’m so used to waiting on the wave of your wand
Just to make me that much better
Somewhere big and safe
Like iron or granite or shade
So even if I’m not just a door that close
I guess it makes sense that I
I love the most
What I built for one isn’t always the same for two
And don’t you know that something’s changing
And maybe it’s good
But I’d be fine if I was staying with you
If I was staying with…
(Oh, dear conductor)
