Stopping

Matt Pond PA
If I could stop
Don't you think I'd stop?
If I could write you off
Would not stop writing to you
My memory goes around the bend
Can't track start
And I can't make it end
Flaunt as I'm daunted in the headlights
Pop this cork
Catch some idea
Cause no one sheds their skin
If this light lives
Softly say turn it off forever
I won't jump any bones
I won't cut through the thick
I will stay on my side
I'll stay clean
I will walk a ways
I will see another days
I will find another fawn
Together point
I get the green
I should say
Before I go away
That I have never done what I am doing now
Your white tail
Bolts into the dark
Heart's in your throat
And your throat's in your heart
Fawn is off in the wildnerness
I know you won't belong
Not to me, not to me
I believed for so long
I believed
I wish nights wouldn't last
Longer than they ever have
I will give everything
Close my eyes
Never see
Pop this cork
Catch some idea
Cause no one sheds their skin
If this light lives
Softly say turn it off forever
You won't believe in anyone
To blow up trees as you race the sun
Softly say turn it off forever
Softly say turn it off forever
Softly say turn it off forever
