Schoolmaker - Waxwing

Part of me wants to go back through time

To those years, they were yours and mine only

Man there was nobody

Part of me wants to get on with it

I’ve seen days like these before and there so long

I don’t want them anymore I’m leaving them off

Whining maybe, Love you definitely

I’m sorry. I don’t know why I get like this so often

I’m killing myself — I’m killing us both

I can’t afford not to take these risks

The well is running dry

Nothing can buy back the time

Waste no more tonight

Lay down here by my side

Pick up your horn

Blow out your lungs

Let the truth be heard, and I won’t worry anymore

About everything that I could never control anyway

Let it go, it’s a weight that I’ve wasted my life on

Some things have to be left behind

And when you found me it was just in time

I knew these things couldn’t go on much longer

I remember when we were such sweet kids

And I was the type I always tried really hard — too hard

And you always knew it

I feel my arms breaking, I can’t carry everything

I never wanted to let you down

Maybe I’ll wake up someday and know that’s never

What you wanted anyway, and I’ll learn to let go
