Whale Bones

Lyrics

He felt a curse around his neck Like a yoke; he knows he'll never forget The way she cut through his bed Like a snake will bite through a cave of flesh But he holds her though she's broken Swears he don't care where she's been He's tired of being human Wears her close to the bone As though she were his own skin Shoots from the heart instead of the head His mouth and his words, they rarely connect He looks to the past and where his tongue's tread And he knows he's meant the opposite But she holds him like an infant Though it breaks her in half to know he'll wake like a man Who's sold on cold indifference When he reaches for her, she's gone She slips like the wind through blackened sails, but Who are we to love at all? Who are we to love at all? Who are we to love at all? I hope you don't mind If I hang all of my hopes I hang all of my hopes on this time (And who are we to love at all?) Although I've been warned I'll probably get burned I'd rather get burned than to not try (Who are we to love at all?) I hope you don't mind If I hang all of my hopes I hang all of my hopes on this time (Who are we to love at all?) 'Cause you won't Let it go, let it go Let it go, let it go (Who are we to love at all?) 'Cause you won't Let it go, let it go Let it go, let it go (Who are we to love at all?) 'Cause you won't Let it go, let it go Let it go, let it go (Who are we to love at all?) 'Cause you won't (Let it go, let it go) (Let it go, let it go) (Who are we to love at all?)
