For Good

Cause you had your birthday and three hours later
I caught a cheap plane ride to see the mountainsides
I love you
And I was afraid then of losing affection
Like pencil to paper the lead seems to wear thin
I know you

So put me in a box wrap it tightly
And hold me when I'm weak say you're staying for good
I know that we could

Took you to my favorite tree in the winter
To show you the knots in the bark
How I see myself in them
And I was aware then of flaws in creation
And bore you as witness to those that I cherish
To hold them

So put me in a box wrap it tightly
And hold me when I'm weak say you're staying for good
I know that we could

Cause I feel like a kid
And I'm giddy and warm
And I don't hate my mouth
When you look at my lips
And I still find your hair
When I'm making my bed
And my cheeks get all red
Like the shine of the sun
Like the candle is lit

So put me in a box wrap it tightly
And look me in the eye like it's last May
And hold me when I'm weak say you're staying for good
Say you're staying for good
