Make It Right

Quietly she leaves the room
Takes another part of me
Hoping that it's not too soon
And that it's not a part I'll need
I do declare it
I'm sorry for thinking I could just spit my mind
But if you give me a minute
I know that we can make it right
My heart is like an open wound
Too busy spitting blood to heal
Your words are a melodic tune
You're washing them all over me
I do declare it
I'm sorry for thinking you would mean to be unkind
But if you give me a minute
I know that we can make it right
Quietly she leaves the country
Takes an even bigger part of me
Hoping that I'm not too broken
To ever find love again

I want to get a little high tonight
I want to wake up in the morning to a new invention
I want to dream that you are by my side
When my eyes open you're there with me in a new dimension
Where only still waters run
And violence is soothed by guns
I want to be a real handy man
I'm gonna whittle you a riddle of my good intentions
Meet in the middle like an ampersand
I've got you holdin' out you Walden, going "even Thoreau says..."
Only still water runs
And violence is soothed by guns
Like ice freezes up the sun
And our island is overrun by unaccompanied young
But hold on to love and we'll highlight another way
From dawn to dusk, doesn't everybody breathe the same?
Who am I to say "you're not part of my economy"?
From dust, to dust
