Flesh For Bones

I'm sitting here frozen in this bed I made
Considering the weight of the bricks I laid now that I'm through
One by one sealed every crack that I could slip between to find my way back
Find my way back home to you
And I'm burning all my bridges
with these matches I light
To illuminate my path to what is right
And even if it's true what they say
that you can't go back home
once you've cast it away
I would still have left tonight
You know baby I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones
I would, I would, I would, I would, I would…
I carry with me on my way
All the ghosts of all the love
that I let slip away
The heavy weight of promises made
That if I could exonerate
I might just lift off today
And I'm burning all my bridges
with these matches I light
To illuminate my path to what is right
And even if it's true what they say
that you can't go back home
once you've cast it away
I would still have left tonight
You know baby I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones
I would, I would, I would, I would, I would…
I chased your memory from my mind
But every song I write is just a wish to find you, near or far
Through all the tears and all the time
That I been running blind
I still ain't got to where you are
And I'm burning all my bridges
with these matches I light
To illuminate my path to what is right
And even if it's true what they say
that you can't go back home
once you've cast it away
I would still have left tonight
You know baby I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones
I would, I would, I would, I would, I would…
