When I Come Down

Why would you wait for me
You're a wild fire, I'm a weeping tree
And you can blame the heat
For when I threw away what you'd given me
All intact, full of breath
We'd inhale each other 'til we had none left
All in time, made it good
They told me many times what not to do
and what I should know
When I come down from the wine
I'll be sorry that I couldn't keep my shoes tied
And I'll be in no rush
I'll never find another one to touch
Why would it hurt your chest
Still a novice killer, I guess
You look away from me
Searching for a picture of what used to be
All intact, full of breath
We'd inhale each other 'til we had none left
All in time, made it good
They told me many times what not to do
and what I should know
When I come down from the wine
I'll be sorry that I couldn't keep you satisfied
It's a prison in my head
Babe, if I had it all my way
I'd sleep there until I'm dead
Will the screaming help
The final step in grieving is a lone, hollow yelp
Help would be a waste of effort
From anyone who couldn't feel our lungs together
All intact, full of breath
We'd inhale each other 'til we had none left
All in time, made it good
They told me many times what not to do
and what I should know
When I come down from the wine
I'll be different than I was the last time
And I'll show you what I learned
When I visited the goddess of the sky
And, boy, did her eyes burn
When you see my sign
I'll be signing kinder words
Than you've ever heard, I'll make you cry
When I come down from the wine
Maybe you can teach me how to walk in a straight line
You're a sickle in my brow now
Somewhere in my brain, I still Wanna take you out
I'll have the answers to the questions on your mind
When I come down from the wine
We'll be happy and I won't know why
