Lyrics

[00:34.57] Once you were a straight shot, a shiny quarter in a new slot,
[00:42.06] Night would keep the dreams that you got for afternoon.
[00:47.86] Then telling the truth got so hard,
[00:53.68] we were dancing in the backyard,
[00:57.36] Once I knew the end and the start,
[01:01.35]
[01:02.29] but now that’s through.
[01:05.53]
[01:07.78] Now you’re broken and you don’t understand
[01:12.09] What is broken falls into place once again.
[01:16.41] Hand of kindness, come and gather me in like a rainstorm,
[01:21.59]
[01:22.46] Again and again and again,
[01:25.33]
[01:26.02] So morning comes to clean up like nothing happened when your heart stopped,
[01:35.44] Like all the lawyers calling all cops to wave days through.
[01:43.39]
[01:44.76] Just close your eyes for this long, something’s mixed up and something’s gone,
[01:52.37] Only fingers can you count on, and one leaves two.
[02:01.91] Now you’re broken and you don’t understand
[02:06.28] What is broken falls into place once again.
[02:10.15] Hand of kindness, come and gather me in like a rainstorm,
[02:17.08] Again and again and again,
[02:20.95] And it’s these most loved losses, they are just old coin tosses,
[02:35.67] And these most loved losses are the hardest to carry.
[02:47.28] I wish I were a freeway laid out clearer than a bright day.
[02:50.84] I’d run wide open down this causeway like brand new
[03:00.07]
[03:00.63] But I’m broken and I don’t understand
[03:04.88] What is broken falls into place once again.
[03:08.93] Hand of kindness, come and gather me in like a rainstorm,
[03:14.61]
[03:15.61] Again and again and again,
[03:18.29]
[03:18.80] But I’m broken and I don’t understand
[03:22.60] What is broken falls into place once again.
[03:25.47] Hand of kindness, come and gather me in like a rainstorm,
[03:31.28]
[03:31.96] Again and again and again,
[03:36.27] Again and again and again,
[03:40.45] Again and again and again,
[03:45.00] I think I will break but I mend.
