just let it lie it’s so easy to believe
it’s twisted on it’s side and looking alot like me
just let it lie in the truth that’s all around
it’s so easy to be lost
when you’re not ready to be found
just let it lie with a pencil in it’s heart
with a painting on its face
with you in its art
just let it lie act natural or weep
just let it lie and hope it falls to sleep.
-CHORUS
starting over
it’s both of the two.
it’s laughing in the gutter of a night we made it through.
it’s dancing in the danger of a naked city toast.
from all we are afraid of
to the convictions we propose.
just let it lie with it’s head on your legs
and know that as it steals this is how it begs.
begs you for a freedom that never turns to pain
just let it lie as it repeats your name
just let it lie like a baby in it’s old age
like the fish that sleep in the ocean
like a poem on a page
just let it lie so we can be honest
and maybe even notice the sun that’s setting on us.
–
just let it lie it’s just another way of talking
it’s just another way of telling you what it is.
friends are almost lovers, lovers are almost friends
and there’s no story that will save you
except the one that never ends.
