Case Studies - My Silver Hand lyrics

If I took back my silver hand The one you never wanted anyway And if I took back all the postcards Took back all the letters That I wrote to you each day If I took back Baltimore And all the other nights I wouldn't take your call Or that I used you as a crutch Did I lean on you too much Hopin' you would break my fall Could we go back and start again If we're not family would we at least be friends And if my wandering ever brought me to your door Do you believe we'd fall in love just like before I'd like to still be in your bed But I would settle for your life instead If I took back my silver hand Could we go back and start again Can I take back the setting sun From the graveyard at the chapel of your church Or that I'd left behind my child Asleep in your white shadow on the pillow at your side If we hadn't scrutinized All of the lies that we both told And if I hadn't been so careless Desperately trying to hand over my soul Could we go back and start again If we're not family would we at least be friends And if my wandering ever brought me to your door Do you believe we'd fall in love just like before I'd like to still be in your bed But I would settle for your life instead If I took back my silver hand Could we go back and start again And if I hadn't read Free Union With my hand upon your lips And if your eyes had not been water And I hadn't been so thirsty lookin' at you from a cage If I hadn't promised everything Oh now none of them came true I'd have no songs about remembrance No songs about forgiveness No songs of me and you I'd have no songs about remembrance No songs about forgiveness No songs of me and you La da da, da da da da
