Posies - Take Care of Yourself lyrics

Maybe you never saw much of me As you're creeping around your history It's true, I wasn't always with you I was so gone but you weren't forgotten That's why I've been trying to make it up To you in later years I hope a father's what I am But rationalizing's not my aim Just to pick you up and carry all your pain And give you wings and not to Always get the better of the other side Ain't that what you call love? Take care of yourself Do everything you can so we don't lose ya Showing me off all your side effects And keeping your face like a silhouette in blue Is all we're gonna get But keep it in mind in your last regrets As you're blowing away like an untethered balloon And drifting high forever Is that the side that turns you on? To see we missed you after all you're gone? Take care of yourself Do everything you can so we don't lose ya If I said I was letting you die Well, baby, I told you a lie Well, maybe I'd tell you a lie If only to keep you alive You're writing your own prescription Riding the lines of a minor fiction If anyone ever could spare to lose a detail Filing your heart with the facts you're facing Draining away as your blood's escaping You could make it last forever They say that the last time feels like pleasure Feeling a smile from your unsuccessful Breathing every memory As I'm always to prevent your harm These words you mock me when you cut into your arms Take care of yourself Do everything you can so we don't lose ya Take care, take care of yourself Do everything you can so we don't lose ya If you think I was letting you die Well, baby, I told you a lie Well, maybe I'd tell you a lie If only to keep you alive Well, maybe I'd tell you a lie If only just to keep you alive Take care, take care of yourself
