The Mendoza Line - Catch a Collapsing Star lyrics

Our margins and revisions, where we both first made our living In an alcove filled with sawdust, there a new light fell upon us Hail the lepers, call the outcasts Did we just not know to ask I could see you blazing through the frost In amazing grace and a hacking cough Took dictation, wrote it shorthand Noone's sorrier than I am I was young, that's no excuse For the harm and the abuse So what was it that you wanted What would you've done if you had got it? It was always ever gonna go so far Til someone thought to push you from the car Accept no imitation, baby, catch a collapsing star But it's your limitations that make you what you are Our margins and revisions Where we both first learned forgiveness By the moonlight in the forest Where our lives spread out before us So you wrote me in a letter You can stay gone but don't stay bitter It was always ever gonna end the same Til someone thought to push you 'neath the train Took vacation in new orleans And I held you on the shore there Splurged your words, confused your thoughts Spoke in riddles noone got So what was it that we wanted And God forbid if we had got it It was always gonna have to go too far Til someone turned the light out at the bar Accept no imitation, baby, catch a collapsing star Oh it's our limitations It's our limitations Oh it's our limitations That make us what we are
