Mountain Lyrics

I could be a singer

If I wasn't tone deaf

I could be a poet

If I knew the words to write

And we could still be in love

If I knew how to be in love

I could cough the blood

Out of my lungs and I could smoke a cigarette

And put it out on the little birdhouse

We built when we were kids

'Cause you know blood leaves a trail

A trail-blazer with paper-mache set ablaze

In the gas tank of your mother's car

We could write a song

We could burn a house down

We could read book and we could ruin our lives

We could tell a lie and we could kiss the priest's wife

We could play god and screw the whole world up

We could eat our hearts out and get real stuffed

We could fall in love and get real stuck

And I'll see you at the top of the mountain

We can hold each others hand

As we fall apart as you look at me and say

"I've gone too far."

As I look at your wrists and see

Just how much I missed when they stashed me away

When they told me you'd be okay okay

Told me you'd be okay

Everyday, it's a getting closer

Going faster than this rollercoaster

Love like yours will never come my way
