White Elephants Songtext
Will you stay
Where you are?
Then don′t fly so low
You don't have to fly so low to save them
Just open yourself to me
(To me)
And don′t try so hard
Don't try so hard
When it's swimming through your veins
′Cause I just don′t know you at all
And you swear
That you never even changed
You're changing the way
That your eyes see
(I see)
And it′s leaving me outside your graces
(I never thought you'd notice this)
Say that you′d lie to me
But I am
(Not worth it)
When you're turning
Turning
′Round and 'round
It's not like you to stay
You′re the only one who can see this
(Can see this)
You′ve been running from the past
(I'm chasing)
While we′re dreaming
What should we do?
It's not likely we′d make it through
(Don't ask why so much)
So why not just save your life?
You′ve been leaving me
Outside your graces
(I never thought you'd notice this)
Say that you'd lie to me
But I am
(Not worthy)
When you′re turning
(Turning)
′Round and 'round
It′s not like you to stay
You don't need to mind
Just believe me
When I say
(I say)
′Cause they don't seem to know
I′m for real
(For real)
I can't stand the mainline anymore
And I'll be losing my focus
Before you open yourself to me
(To me)
For the last time
(Promise me)
I know it won′t be true
And even if you swear to me
I swear I′m leaving without you
(Without you)
(Promise me)
Why go if you don't know what you′ll do?
And even if you say you want it all
I'm hoping that you
(Promise me)
There′s one thing left to do
(Locked down
In a state
Where you could stay)
You're the only one who can see this
(Why don′t you say it's true?)
You've been running from the past
(While I′ve been racing back)
While we′re dreaming
(I'm dreaming)
What should we do?
(What should we do?)
It′s not likely we'd make it through
Where you are?
Then don′t fly so low
You don't have to fly so low to save them
Just open yourself to me
(To me)
And don′t try so hard
Don't try so hard
When it's swimming through your veins
′Cause I just don′t know you at all
And you swear
That you never even changed
You're changing the way
That your eyes see
(I see)
And it′s leaving me outside your graces
(I never thought you'd notice this)
Say that you′d lie to me
But I am
(Not worth it)
When you're turning
Turning
′Round and 'round
It's not like you to stay
You′re the only one who can see this
(Can see this)
You′ve been running from the past
(I'm chasing)
While we′re dreaming
What should we do?
It's not likely we′d make it through
(Don't ask why so much)
So why not just save your life?
You′ve been leaving me
