(If You Want It)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I can't keep a straight face and say this is not the end Not if you want it it's upon us and I wanna say it's sinking in If I was hasty maybe I was rushed along I won't move into little boxes and then not get the itch to move on [Pre-Chorus 1] So think real slow Don't forget that yes is yes and no is no Melting prints of grass and snow Means I may forget the way to get back home [Chorus] 'Cause this is the end if you want it This is the end [Verse 2] You're not the first thing in my life I've loved and lost Yeah, I've thought worse things that I might be less inclined to merely just shrug off [Pre-Chorus 2] You'll take me home Like my family did my father did I know You'll think real slow But don't forget the speed that I can go away [Chorus] 'Cause this is the end if you want it Yeah, this is the end [Bridge] I've been convincing myself that I'm worthwhile 'Cause I'm worth what I'll convince myself to be Been convincing myself that I'm worthwhile 'Cause I'm worth what I'll convince myself to be [Verse 3] I met the devil and I stared her in the eyes Her hair had scales like silver serpents I, a statue, stood there mesmerized I took the fire escape and made it out alive Yeah, I still burn from time to time but I've a healing hand against my side [Outro] Blisters on my feet I crawled back home Frozen from the sleet, burned sand, and stones Nourished back to life by life alone With one shake of the mane, regain the throne
