I don't wanna lose this one before it is too late Things just have a way of slipping through my fingers When the strongest of convictions sort of gets bent out of shape When the gnawing claw of doubt still lingers You don't lose, don't lose No pieces will you lose After all you've done for me It's the least I can do for you You don't lose, don't lose No pieces will you ever lose After all you've done for me As lonely as the final leaf swept from the barren tree
And the d**, they don't go deep enough to set you free And the fan blades reflect halo effects when I look up and see you When the words won't frame the room you're in, pictures will have to do To live inside these ruins where you move without a sound Oh, to live inside these moments and die outside your town Oh, to break forth into sonnets Oh Lord, keep me coming back The stories that you tell your head to keep your heart intact
