Oh I'd wash it away
If I could see the flowing water 
Nighttime light and dusty glow
That bring the heat and fireflies

Oh [bad word] If your stare could find me
If you smirkes, refused to share
Yes I'd win you in that dare

Too may places, pull me away
Just empty traces, nothing stays
What I'd give and what I'd trade
For all you flickers, you flickers of the light
You're just a bunch of lies I tell myself
To help me sleep at night

Oh I'd wash it away
If I could see that it would last
If i could just convince the past
To bend, to let me by

Oh [bad word] 
To the letters that you wrote me
To the brick, the wilting vine
Yes I keep those in my mind

Too many faces, force me to stay
If being back would make me whole
If different times had different goals
But just new wars and, just new holes [bad word] up again and losing sight
Oh help me sleep at night

I'd give it in a trade 
If I could make the color fade
If I could hear a serenade 
crackling band, walz two and three
Just feel your hand 
Light on my back
Whisper that we're never going back there

Too many places pull me away
You empzy traces, c'ant ya stay
What I'd give and what I'd trade
For you all you flickers, you flickers of the light
My lovely bunch of lies I tell myself
To help me sleep at night

I'd give it in a trade 
If I could make the color fade
If I could hear a serenade 
crackling band, walz two and three
Just feel your hand 
Light on my back
Whisper that we're never going back there
Never going back there
Never going back there
