His liver damaged in the wreck   The windshield shattered   All for an instant fleeting like cars from the street   Cat tops spin across the highway and horses die in backseats   Don't blink now   I know I can't talk man, but I understand   Any way I look at him my love, you've got to come back soon it's not fair   They choke your neck with a seatbelt that meant to help      Break it apart   Misunderstand me   Flash this evening on the sky screen   Drive to Vegas and get yourself hitched   If I live through my imperfections - two glass decades and you're still angry - I don't want to be your friend anymore   We turned a wheel that raised a wall and made this living world turn red   But I'm not scared   I pulled my arms from the fence where I leapt   Violet...      Like rain returning (...Violet...) back to the earth from a cloud   Falling down makes you squint as it hits your glasses lens   I set a trap, caught myself   So I surrender   That's what I did   It wasn't there   No, no, n-n-no, it wasn't there   I looked, I looked   I looked everywhere      The girl I lived for Saturdays she watched this brilliant star grow faint   But it's not there - It's not there   I made this light to give to you   No matter what you do   I've been storing up these words to pour like rain like peace upon your perfect head   Illuminate you, stardrenched lover   I surrender      She wore a charm (She wore a charm)   A necklace that you had tied (She tied it)   Before that night I drowned you in a reservoir      And all the world a twirling top - it will be yours to stop
