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?
