Calm

Her mind just snapped, said, "This is it"
And she just bit right through her lip
Things are flying, they hit the floor
Someone's laughing but it's not her
She just screams out madly, "Let it end"

She climbs through the window in stocking feet
And the ants, they dance upon the street
Come down, baby, come down from there
Now what are you thinking with that stare
She cries, "If you love me, help it end"

Calm down, baby, just think about before
When we felt like loving, we'd fall down on the floor
We can find our way there again
Let's think about tomorrow, quit talking all about the end

Her eyes are spinning like vertigo
And a spider crawls by, got somewhere to go
Tired of thinking about that twilight zone
Where the man would scream and nobody'd know

Remember those symphony tickets we bought
We never made it out of that parking lot
Come down baby, don't leave me here
Don't drown yourself in those little fears
She just whispers softly, "Let it end"

Calm down, baby, just think about before
We loved each other so damn hard, we were torn and sore
I swear that I will take you from this place
Don't worry about your pain, girl, we'll wipe out every trace

Let me take you one more time
Let me know you like I did once before
So please now take my shaking hand
I beg you and I demand

She teeters like a seesaw on the edge
The rocks they drop but find no end
A bird flies by and winks at me
Says, "How much will you pay for this pair of wings?"
She just whispers softly, "Let it end"
