the muttering retreats - awkward poetry lyrics

[chorus]
swear that i’ll get back someday
[?] roads and hotel beds
stretched out from the breaking dawn
until the day that’s overgone
so when you think of me ’till then
or are you out with other men
slipping in between the sheets
but trying then to fall asleep
i hope this isn’t like that time
back in high school with that guy
when i wrote you awkward poetry
then burned it all in effigy
[post+chorus]
swear that i won’t fall in love
with passing girls who bring me down
steal my tenderness away
and keep it safe until the day that

[bridge]
i return much like a soldier from a war
will i find that you don’t love me anymore?

[verse]
is it your plan to up and go
to disappear with your new bow
to leave my things out on the lawn
so i can get and know you’re gone?
will it be something that i sad
in all the letters that i sent
some thoughtless phrases, stupid words
the way at which a thought occurred to me

[bridge]
will you leave it in a note taped to the door?
you broke my heart like this a time or two before
that would be worse than losing life or losing it
a standing of the front lines in the trenches facing death
[chorus]
swear that i’ll get back someday
[?] roads and hotel beds
stretched out from the breaking dawn
until the day that’s overgone
so when you think of me ’till then
or are you out with other men
slipping in between the sheets
but trying then to fall asleep
i hope this isn’t like that time
back in high school with that guy
when i wrote you awkward poetry
then burned it all in effigy

[post+chorus]
know that every night i dream
of when i will come back again
and i can picture perfectly
the way that you will look at me
