You ought to know I'm toeing the line but falling too fast You take it slow Holding her years to your chest I want to know All that slips through the floor I can't forgo What you seem to ignore You better cast a lie between us That you can't shake anymore Remember the breadth of life between us That we can't bridge but you can't dismiss from mind If you should ever need a helping hand I would break my back and carry you Strung like a marionette You could paint the town a crimson red But you can't see the precious gold in you That I can't seem to forget You ought to know I'm toeing the line but falling too fast You take it slow Holding her years to her chest I want to know All that slips through the floor I can't forgo What you seem to ignore You better cast a lie between us That you can't shake anymore Remember the breadth of life between us That we can't bridge but you can't dismiss anymore She's said it once before Left folded in the drawer now Locked out Now you're shaken to the core So much to answer for now Get out What might come about?
