I'm grappling for something to hold onto   Letting out miles of line so I can find my way home   When everything is up for discussion   You're running, running dear just to catch your breath      You're sending me signals that I could believe in   Pushing my hips to the edge of the ledge to look down   When everything's wide open before you   Is when you'll pull back and explode and it'll all go down      This broken rifle's got a bullet with your name on it   And I'm trying and I'm trying to line you up in my sights   But you're hard to pin down when you're moving like a river   But I'll try and I'll try to put out your lights      I'm building a stone wall I hope will protect me   Battling gunshots, these thoughts of rejecting   When everything falls so softly before me   You come, pull in, touch down then destroy me      I'm napping, I'm napping my afternoon away   Thinking we'd be better off picking up, getting away   This is how I'll spend the rest of my days   Maybe oh maybe I will be okay      This broken record's got your name right in the middle   And I'm pushing you, pushing you out of my lights   I carved your name into the back of my fiddle   That I play on the pier in the dark to call you in from the night
