Once you were a straight shot
A shiny quarter in a new slot
Night would keep the dreams that you got for t'afternoon
Then telling the truth got so hard
We were dancing in the backyard
Once I knew the end and the start, but now that's through

Now you're broken 
And you don't understand what is broken 
Falls into place once again, hand of kindness
Come and gather me in like a rainstorm
Again and again and again

But morning comes to clean up 
Like nothing happened when your heart stopped
Like all the lawyers calling all cops to wave days through
Just close your eyes for this long 
Something's mixed up and something's gone
Only fingers can you count on and one leaves two

Now you're broken 
And you don't understand what is broken 
Falls into place once again, hand of kindness
Come and gather me in like a rainstorm
Again and again and again
I think I will break but I mend

And it's these most loved losses, they are just old coin tosses
And these most loved losses are the hardest to carry

I wish I were a freeway 
Laid out clearer than a bright day
Run wide open down this cost way like brand new

But I'm broken 
And you don't understand what is broken 
Falls into place once again, hand of kindness
Come and gather me in like a rainstorm
Again and again 

'Cause I'm broken 
And you don't understand what is broken 
Falls into place once again, hand of kindness
Come and gather me in like a rainstorm
Again and again and again
Again and again and again
Again and again and again
I think I will break but I mend
