If the needle makes a groove where a scratch once was   And the record skips our song   Would you remember the melody, the stops and starts   Where each harmony belongs   Or just where we went wrong      If I built a house of cards just to knock it down   Would you help me clean my mess?   If I stopped my own heart because it beat too fast   Would you shock me in the chest   Or just wish me the best?      The rain came down and soaked the ground   So the worms came up   To escape from where they were   The sun came out and dried them up   In the sidewalk cracks   I wonder which death they prefer
