flog me with malice, till the rivers running red

see the cosmos unfolding and know i'm a part

since i have nothing left to say that will make you change your mind (make you change your mind)

tragically, nobody told me how expensive you could be

and there's nothing like doing nothing with you, no, there's nothing like doing nothing with you

i lost my mind to you, somewhere down the line that you drew

We spent our days listening to old soul

i know it's not very cool, standing here, serenading like a fool

if it's keeping you from sleepin', wipe the tear from your eye, 'cause sometimes it's time to let a good thing die

oh, tangled and messy, that's how we've been and we'll always be, and that's alright with me

leave me for dead and laugh your way back home, i'd still be smiling, like a madman in the rain, and i would love you just the same

more than all the places i've been, you will always be part of my tapestry

hang my coat on a chair next to me

drag me through the dirt cut me to the bone

sunrise in georgia as holy choirs sing

each time i look at you, i'm limp as a glove

but of all the people there are in the world, she chose me

i'll give you the rest of me, you're the reason i rest easily

but they were few and far between, we're closer now than we've ever been, and you know i'm sorry

leave me for dead and laugh your way back home, i'd still be smiling, like a madman in the rain, and i would love you just the same
