lyrics

Today I saw storm clouds--I thought I should maybe make my will
But you closed the windows and sat next to me
I thought of some questions--I thought maybeI could break your will
But you looked in my eyes and reminded me
That the worst was all behind me

Pick up the scene from when the rain stopped
Pick out your favorite line
Pick up the wet things and hang them all up
Pick up a stitch in time
I never could see any other way
I never could see any other way
I’ve made an art of coming apart
You put me together today

My sun shone too brightly--I was scared that you’d just get burned
But you took the rays and shone them back at me
An air of finality--if from you I had fled
My life would be something I need never have led
You said forget it and just come to bed

Pick up the scene from when we wake up
Pick up a guitar and sing
Pick out your best clothes and get all dressed up
See what the day will bring
I never could see any other way
