And where I was complete
We found you scattered by the highway side
Too soon to be released
Gathered the pieces up and clean the places
Where you were undone
And washed the wreckage out
Unfinished all the thoughts that we'd begun
I came to burn the sky and tear away
The beauty that it sows
If I could rape the day
And find the things I thought I'd always known

Leave it alone again tonight

I laid your arms out long untwisted there
And shaped what I could find
Unmade the most of it then left the rest
The parts unrecognized
My reconstruction was the only way
For one last look at you
I lost the sense of it
The absolution that we never knew

Leave it alone again tonight

And it takes me back from this place here
It takes me back from this place here
I came to burn the sky and tear away
The beauty that it sows
If I could rape the day
And find the things I thought I'd always known

Leave it alone again tonight

And it takes me back from this place here
From this place here it takes me over
Might be lost in this place here
From this place here it takes me on

Tonight leave it alone
