lyrics

I remember the iowa skyline
where it bled into the corners of my eyes
and i recall, now
your mother left in springtime
stranding you, and hurting you inside

and we watched the devil scream at god
begging him to please just stop
fingers grasping at the thinnest air

and i remember loving you
the way that boys aren’t s’posed to do
the way your fingers carded through my hair

it’ll be you and me
and we’ll be bursting at the seams
run with me
through the desert, through the trees
and we were
falling fast
when you turned and looked at me

you said ‘i’ll protect you
they won’t get to you through me’

i remember the night they came and took you
the way you called my name into the skies
your fingers scraping
across mine in the darkness
i couldn’t find a grip i don’t know why

and you told me not to be afraid
not to let myself be swayed
by my fears and by the loss of you

the tears were streaming down my cheeks
as they tossed you to the sea
your body limp, and then i knew the truth

it’ll be you and me
and we’ll be bursting at the seams
run with me
through the desert, through the trees
and we were
falling fast
when you turned and looked at me

you said ‘i’ll protect you
they won’t get to you through me’

i remember the iowa skyline
the way the fires scattered in the night
and i recall, now
the screams of burning wicked
the way they begged me just to see the light

i felt the devil take my arm
hold me close, and safe from harm
fingertips, carding through my hair

and you were gone, but not alone
i’d be with you, rock and stone
now that we could be free from the stares

it’ll be you and me
and we’ll be bursting at the seams
run with me
through the desert, through the trees
and we were
fading fast
when you turned and looked at me

I said ‘i’ll protect you
they won’t get to you through me’
