You're the kind of rhythm that I need to run
You're the kind of lie that made the lights go out
All that I did can never be undone
But I don't understand the loss you talk about
And one by one your lives are undone
I know you recall the time
We both looked ahead and I really should have said
Clench your fist a little closer
Clench your fist a little closer to me
Clench your fist a little closer
Do your worst and I'll stay
The side of your tongue is a crowded space
Anxious words are waiting there to be spit out
Blank spots on the map are the only place
People like the story that you're spinning out
And one by one your lives are undone
I know you recall the time
The sparks in your head made me think you finally said
Clench your fist a little closer
Clench your fist a little closer to me
Clench your fist a little closer
Do your worst and I'll stay
‘Cause I don't want to go
Don't want to know
Didn't you know
That I do what I say?
I won't stay away next time you come around
I want to hear the lies that made the lights go out
Votive dreams are all I have to slake my thirst
For the kind of fire that I will never doubt
‘Cause I don't want to go
Don't want to go
Didn't you know what you'll do if I stay?
