Turnstile

The way that you call, the way that you call out quietly

What did you learn? What did you learn from lovin' me?

To move in the world, to move in the world more graciously

Your promised return, your promised return ain't much to me

But lettin' you down, lettin' you down was hell to me

The colors of love, the color of us was gold and green

The peace and the birds, the peace and the birds, don't visit me

I was winnin' once, but that's been and gone

I was playin' with the fire that you made for me

What we runnin' from?

I couldn't hold you for the last time and then let you go

Standin' at the turnstile, you looked so alone

Oh, to be someone you rely on, a hill that we can die on

Wait up with the light on

Don't wanna know this life without you, I'm not strong enough

You turn and close your eyes 'cause you can't even look

Losin' someone to rely on, a hill that we could die on

Wait up with the light on

Let me believe, let me believe we'll last the night

What do we need? 'Cause there ain't much left to sacrifice

But I gotta breathe (I gotta breathe), I better breathe to save my mind

I was winnin' once, but that's been and gone

I was playin' with the fire that you made for me

What we runnin' from?

I couldn't hold you for the last time and then let you go

Standin' at the turnstile, you looked so alone

Oh, to be someone you rely on, a hill that we can die on

Wait up with the light on

Don't wanna know this life without you, I'm not strong enough

You turn and close your eyes 'cause you can't even look

Losin' someone to rely on, a hill that we could die on

Wait up with the light on

I'll admit it once, then I'll hold my tongue

I was clutchin' at the dream that you'd stay with me

And the truth, beloved, is you'll always run

Back and forth in my mind every day you breathe

I was winnin' once, but that's been and gone

I was playin' with the fire that you made for me

What we runnin' from?
