Me Without You - Torches Together lyrics

Why burn poor and lonely Under a bowl or under a lampshade Or on the shelf beside the bed Where at night you lay turning like a door on it's hinges First on your left side, then on your right side Then your left side again Why burn poor and lonely? Tell all the stones, we're gonna make a building We'll be cut into shape and set into place Or if you'd rather be a window, I'll gladly be the frame Reflecting any kind of words, we'll let in all the blame And ruin our reputation all the same So never mind out plan making, we'll start living Anyway, aren't you unbearably sad? Then why burn so poor and lonely? We'll be like torches, we'll be like torches We'll be like torches, we'll be torches together Torches together We'll be like torches, we'll be like torches With whatever [Incomprehensible] our tattered dignity demands Torches together, hand in hand Why pluck one string, what good is just one note? Oh, one string sounds fine, I guess but we were once 'One Note' We were lonely wheat, quietly ground in the grain What light and momentary pain So why this safe distance, this curious look? Why tear our single pages when you can throw away the book? Why pluck one string when you can strum the guitar Strum the guitar, strum the guitar Strum the guitar with no beginning, with no end Take down the guitar and strum the guitar Strum the guitar if you're afraid and I'm afraid, everyone's afraid And everyone knows it but we don't have to be afraid anymore You played the flute but no one was dancing You sang a sad song but no one was crying You played the flute but no one was dancing And you sang a sad song but no one was crying You played the flute but no one was dancing You sang a sad song but no one was crying You played the flute but no one was dancing And you sang a sad song, you sang a sad song, sad song
