Parables ft. Cozi anda Flounder Lyrics

Never trade your promise for regret

The day you do your laying down a bet

That someones gonna hold you when you're old

Let's hope that human kindness doesn't fold

Brother, it's a wild and weary game

Then we count up all the pieces that remain

Love will burn then bury you

Hearts will break then carry you

Truth will teach her song to you

As we walk our wild and weary way back home

These bridges were built by engineers

These lips would burn in days what took them years

Be careful when you reach for that last word

The last one is the only one they heard

Oh, Sister, it's a long-forgotten tale

The lonely one is writing for himself

Love will burn, then bury you

Hearts will break then carry you

Truth will write her song for you

As we walk our wild and weary way back home

An Elephant will always be your friend

The question is will you remember him

Never teach a bear karate

He'll punch in the neck and break your body

Teach him how to care

Then he'll learn to share

Take you out to dinner

Oh, he'll take me everywhere

Sister, it's a wild and weary road

Then we count up all the pieces that we sold

So, hang a sign and write it not for sale

These precious little items on the shelf

And sing

Love burn bright, then set me free

Heart be strong to carry me

Truth, tonight, sing your song for me

As I walk my wild and weary way back home
