lyrics

I hid the weapon wisely 'cause I had all the fun.
I made you wander blindly to find the starting gun.
Speed blurs. The lines are drawn.
You throw down your arms and let me go on.
You cut the rope - the curtain that ends the show.
I won't let you go.

Oh, look at her - my mother - she smiles politely
and all of my friends...they come and they clap my back.
But my doubt destroys me nightly
and all of the lessons - they stack and they stack
and I know all of this is real but my
words fail - like my knees - to kneel so
scream at me - forever - a chorus of I-told-you-so's.
I won't let you go.

Baby girl, get over here and kiss me.
For the last time, it's not the last time.
