wave pictures - if you leave it alone lyrics
if i was the kind who was inclined to cry
i’d cry for the strings i cut loose
& i’d cry for the bridges i burned
just to make myself a little room to move
now i’m full up with lessons learned
& the days that are made just to throw them away
now i’m closing all the curtains
i’m switching off the phone
now i took down all your cameras
& i open the fridge
& hung from the hinges with the eggs & garlic
the cheese & tomatoes
the milk & the beer
the strings & the bridges of a brand new year
the first tear was a note
& the note made a song
& i hung the song from the hinges of the door
then i carried on just the same as before
& nothing got different
& nothing got changed
but a new tune gets sweeter & simpler with age
if you leave it alone
if you leave it alone
if you leave it alone
it gets sweeter & simpler & softer & slower
& younger the longer you leave it alone
so i wrote you a note & the note read:
“there’s so much good silence in the emptiest heads
i tipped my mouth towards pillowless beds
& poured out my brains & my guts into ears
& for each dear black sentence a sheer lack of tears
no i don’t want those words back, i don’t miss those years
but if i could hold your knees again under my chin again
if i could kiss your nose us both brittle & thin again
maybe then baby then i could get light again
maybe then baby then i could get light again
if i could kiss your toes, kiss your ribs, kiss your fingers,
well, maybe then baby then i could get light
& then i would be light
i would be liked
i would be liked”
ah, but if you leave it alone
if you leave it alone
if you leave it alone
it gets sweeter & simpler & softer & slower
& younger the longer you leave it alone
leave it alone
leave it alone
leave it alone
leave it alone
