I Don't Know What to Say

I don't know what to say - but stay

Until the meaning comes and finds you anyway

You may not be certain

You may not ever choose

You may find your heart revealed like a bruise

When you didn't call me

When you did call

Like water efflorescing through a brick wall

Now we're laughing again

Walking late at night

The catch in your throat

The catch in mine

I don't know what to say

So I say too much

And maybe through it all

You felt the warmth of my touch

I want the mud of love to catch at my knees

All the silt and sand between you and me

Pulling from mountains every black stone

Round every eddy in the river

Down to the valley below

Dragging for bodies, memories forgot

Your hands on my shoulders, everything I want

Just don't go, stay

Everything has changed a thousand times anyway

Like we had no power

Like we had no sway

The heartbreak you know will find you either way
