The Tale of You & Me Lyrics

Ever wonder why white clouds take flight
in the middle of the night,
just chasin' thunder's tail?
Ever wonder 'bout you and me
at the bottom of the sea,
while both our souls set sail?

Ever think about me at night,
how I'm never too kind?
Follow me, 'cause you know I'll fail

Make you wonder about heading home
where your lovers can't roam,
stab your back, throw you down the well

You ever think about both our mouths
'round the barrel of a gun?
Make it fast, won't feel a thing

Ever think about hangin' out
from the limbs of the tree,
swing above our buried rings?

You ever think about givin' up?
Take the pills in that cup,
sleep forever if you knew you could?
Make me think about cuttin' close
to the veins that hold love,
let them bleed out on the wood

Always said we'd die together
Now you die alone

And you wonder why I burned you down

Always said we'd die together
Now you die alone
You always talk about this and that,
sing a rattle-a-tat,
takin' walks out by the moon

Can you think about getting old,
though I've never been sold
on eternity with you?

Mama, keep your thoughts of loving things,
burn your house and your dreams,
though I love that devil's sin

Darling, next time I grab your hand
when we walk by the sea,
know I just might throw you in

And you wonder why I burned you down

Sleep good and hold tight,
just know that I'll make it right
