Someone once told me this is how it would go And I've been waiting with pins in my heels Something in leaving, well it hurts like hell But then everything bleeds when it breaks [Bridge:] Oh, dear conductor These heartstrings of mine could play the saddest song Oh, dear conductor These heartstrings of mine could play the saddest song [Chorus:] And don't you know that we're a mess In cables and pulleys and crossroads What I build for one isn't always the same for two And don't you know that something's changing And maybe it's good But I'd be fine if I was staying with you There's no expectation when you're starting from scratch No surprises or unanswered prayers And still I'm so used to waiting on the wave of your wand Just to make me that much better [Bridge] [Chorus] Somewhere big and safe Like iron or granite or shade So even if I'm not just a door that close I guess it makes sense that I I love the most What I built for one isn't always the same for two And don't you know that something's changing And maybe it's good But I'd be fine if I was staying with you If I was staying with... (Oh, dear conductor)
