Wanted To Remind You Lyrics

I wanted to tell you the story about the trip to the mountains

And I wanted to tell you the story about the shape I arrived in

I was bruised, dark blue with a paralyzed mouth

My suitcase was broken

And at midnight when I came to

Wandering out with you to an ocean

I think you wanted me to drink but the bottle was out

So I went on talking

Till we plotted ten years and a decent amount that we'd take for granted

And the sands untouched went on for miles all alone

I knew I'd never plan an easy way back home

You know I never took the only way back home

But I wanted to by now and I wish I'd known

I wanted to show you the burns in the ground from where we had landed

And I wanted to show you the pilot we found

Convinced he had planned it

Like a martyr for ill-fate and God's broken bones

And love when it's jaded

And his lover told me my time had run out

At least it felt sacred

And you wanted to move back down to the south

Without really thinking

Wanton, I carried your things to my room

A box and a clothes bin

And if it happens when she's lonely, I've called this a loan

You know I never paid the easy way back home

You know I'd never pay my only way back home

But I wanted to by now and I wish I'd known

I wanted to remind you, I wanted to

Because I thought that you'd forgotten like I wanted to

What we wear and what we'd undo

The things we never cover

Like we think we do

And if waking up's a thousand miles all alone

I guess I took the only way I know home

I guess I never thought you'd follow me back home

But I want it right now and I wish you'd know

I wish you'd know
