LEAVE IT ALONE

id walk the water to get back to you 
and where i was complete 
we found you scattered by the highway side too 
soon to be released 
gathered the pieces up and clean the places 
where you were undone 
and washed the wreckage out unfinished all the 
thoughts that wed begun 
i came to burn the sky and tear away 
the beauty that it sows 
if i could rape the day and find the things i thought 
id always known 
leave it alone again tonight 
i laid your arms out long untwisted there 
and shaped what i could find 
unmade the most of it then left the rest 
the parts unrecognized 
my reconstruction was the only way 
for one last look at you 
i lost the sense of it the absolution 
that we never knew 
leave it alone again tonight 
leave it alone again tonight 
and it takes me back from this place here 
it takes me back from this place here 
i came to burn the sky and tear away 
the beauty that it sows 
if i could rape the day and find the things 
i thought id always known 
leave it alone again tonight 
and it takes me back from this place here 
from this place here it takes me over 
and it might be lost in this place here 
from this place here it takes me on 
tonight leave it alone
