I Belong To You

If it were up to me to build this place

Well I'd have made the miles it takes a little shorter

And I think I would tell the hills to lay to waste

And soak up all the Finger Lakes

So I could straighten the lines

Yeah, so I could straighten the lines to anywhere.

And if I was told to know my place

Well, I think I would choose a space closer to yours

And I would use those lines I drew to get real close

A finger on my pulse because

I think that it's strongest there

Yeah, I think that it's strongest there near you.

'Cos I do not belong to the night

Mystery or song or moonlight

To be a far-begotten soul, I don't know what they do

Don't know where such souls go, but I belong to you.

If the ground should start to break

Well, I think I would allocate more of my bones

To keep our legs up and the tiny ones inside our hands

Would plant themselves in door frames and

Each other or at least I hope

With each other, or at least I hope they would.

If any part of us should start to die

I'd dig a well and bleed it dry and wait there

For something to breathe 'cos I believe or at least I try

That nothing is just born to die

'Cos I think that we'd all just wait

Yeah, I think that we'd all just wait if that were true.

I belong to you

I belong to you so long as this world allows me to.
