Lời bài hát The Man with the Axe
If I had to break it down
I'd say it's the way
You love to dance
Movin' the furniture
When my back is turned
The flick of the lights
And the world falls away
And your office job
And your silver hair
But our shapes in the dark
Are the reason I've stayed
For all these years
I thought I was a genius
But now I'm twenty-two
And it's startin' to feel like
All I know how to do is
Put on a suit
And take it away
With my fist full of tunes
That it's painful to play
Fingernail worlds like favorite seashells
They fill up my nights
And then they float away
I've got hundreds of gowns
I've got paintings in frames
And a throat that fills with
Panic every festival day
Dutifully fallin' apart for
The Princess of Norway
But you
With your tall slashes
Your infinite t-shirts
I should've known
When your favorite record
Was the same as my father's
You'd take me down
I guess I'll always be this way
Swallowed up by the words
And halfway to space
But there by the fire
You offered your hand
And as I took it
I loved you
The boy with the plan
You found me clean
As a pine
The man with the axe
And the look in his eyes
We've been through
So many hard times
I'm writin' a love song
For you baby
