For Good Lyrics

Cause you had your birthday and two hours later

I caught a cheap plane ride to see the mountainsides

I love you

And I was afraid then of losing affection

Like pencil to paper the lead seems to wear thin

I know you

So put me in a box wrap it tightly

And hold me when I'm weak say you're staying for good

I know that we could

Took you to my favorite tree in the winter

To show you the knots in the bark

How I see myself in them

And I was aware then of flaws in creation

And bore you as witness to those that I cherish

To hold them

So put me in a box wrap it tightly

And hold me when I'm weak say you're staying for good

I know that we could

Cause I feel like a kid

And I'm giddy and warm

And I don't hate my mouth

When you look at my lips

And I still find your hair

When I'm making my bed

And my cheeks get all red

Like the shine of the sun

Like the candle is lit

So put me in a box wrap it tightly

And look me in the eye like it's last May

And hold me when I'm weak say you're staying for good

Say you're staying for good
