If It Takes You Home
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You can break me by the bones
but you can't break me inside
You could drag me from my home
and lay me down by the riverside
Where there was lie in your eyes
now we read by the night
And still nothing's moved
even denying what's true
You might have all the facts
but the truth is truth
no matter how you act
If it takes you, it takes you
takes you home
And if it takes you, takes you
takes you home
And if it tries to take you
it takes you home home
And if it takes you, it takes you
takes you home
You can take me on my own
but you can't break me inside
What's been divided by walls
is now divided by night
In my sleeping bag
the metaphor of darkness, it's a light
But it's all up to you
even denying what's true
You might claim to have the facts
but the truth is true
no matter how you act
If it takes you, it takes you
takes you home
And if it takes you, it takes you
takes you home
And if it tries to take you
takes you home
And if it takes you, it takes you
takes you home
