Mount Saint Helens

Waking up in love in your holy chains
Hand to God I'm hoping that I never escape
Pull myself together just to look at you
The treasure of forever fell asleep in my youth
Kinda makes me wonder how you're living now
Your lovers built of ashes and the wind blows south
Legs crossed living room the bodies gasp
The steam of dreams came rising right off of my back

And if you give me a moment I'll find my way back to you

The pond was the pool where we used to swim
Where the ghost of old Summers keeps diving in
How I hated my face like a traitor's gaze
But I aimed it at you hopelessly just the same
Don't you turn away there's a way out now
Couldn't find it before, but we got around
I wanna love you, darling, but my heart is bent
Tuned the harp for the angels
Don't know where they went

And if you give me a moment I'll find my way back to you

But me I want the real thing
Take my body
Take my soul
Giving up on holding on to you
Leaning in to letting go

Beating up the piano like I'm Mozart now
Neighbors slam the windows
Try and drown me out
But I'm crying out haunted
Done being alone
I'd move back to the mountain, but the mountain will blow
Left the heartbreak years back stuck in the ash
Burned the town to the ground
Now it's all in the past
Sicced all of your dogs on my stumbling joy
Barely got out to sing about being destroyed

And if you give me a moment I'll find my way back to you
