Before I Go Out

With thorns and rushes
Of rose and sorrow
Yesterday got taken out
By tomorrow
And I promise to tell you something
If you tell the sun not to rise
And if you keep my secret
I'll keep your lies

We're in a little bit of trouble
For the little things we need
When all the rainy days
Either shine or they bleed
With no separate peace
The branches hang too low
There's somebody caught
In the catcher left below

(Chorus)
But if the sun, it don't need me
And the shadows just don't please me
Could you let me come over again?
Let me come over again

It gets darker by the mile
Every glance that you pull down
Lean my head against the wheel
Lean against the sound
And the pavement hits us hard
All the concrete steps
If my blood was in your veins
Would you tell me where it went

(Chorus)

And when I needed someone
I knew I'd go without
Like the bulb that burns it's brightest
Just before it goes out

(Chorus)
