lyrics

Just look at those shelves, boy
See how they’re only full of memories
And look at your frame, boy
You’re empty and I can’t fill you up with stories
I know she’s your friend, boy
She held you up when you took your very first two steps
But this is the end, boy
Believe me when I tell you that she knows that it’s for the best

Sometimes you’ve got to let someone you love deep inside of you, side of you
Call her by name and she’ll come without thinking, she’d die for you, die for you
She’s your guardian and she’s giving in
Oooh, oooh

So come on, girl
Don’t act like you’ve never been on this walk before
Don’t you whine, girl
You won’t have to worry once I lead you out that door
You’re beautiful now, girl
You helped us with your every living breath
But this is the end, girl
I’ve tied the knot on the rope around your neck

Choking through that toxic mist
Slowed by all of the obstacles that we hit
A stifled life in grey and brown
The bridge isn’t far from where we used to cross into town
Knot it again, just in case
The choice is made, we must not waste
She sees it suddenly betrayed
Pendulum twitch into the calm decay

Sometimes you’ve got to let someone you love deep inside of you, side of you
Call her by name and she’ll come without thinking, she’d die for you, die for you
She’s your guardian and she’s giving in
Oooh, oooh

Throw it over your shoulder
You know this isn’t over
Don’t forget, don’t forget your grace, boy
You’re not a four-leaf clover
It’s an old rule
This give and take will make it bearable
Don’t forget, don’t forget her face, boy
Cause every angel’s terrible
Don’t forget, don’t forget her face, boy
Cause every angel’s terrible
