They fall when they're dead

Restless lovers lie in bed
Legs tangled up, sheets, thoughts in our heads
We wouldn’t know what to do with the morning if it came
Tomorrow will come as soon as I let it drop
All I want is silence
But then comes the rain and it won’t stop

Bad thoughts over me
Your hands on my shoulders
Let go let them drop
Clouds move in and hover overhead
Like leaves in October
They fall when they’re dead

I’ve done some things I wouldn’t do again
Not even once more for fun
This truth doesn’t give
you a reason to imprison me
a why for the shame
or the nighttime riots
finding it hard to find something to do
with my hands when they’re not fighting you
sooner or later they’re bound to go quiet

Bad thoughts over me
Your hands on my shoulders
Let go let them drop
Clouds move in and hover overhead
Like leaves in October
They fall when they’re dead

I’ve been told I’m redeemed
Years of the story unfolding before me
Not a day goes by I am not giving thanks
You’ve done more than I thought
We done alright together
We’ve seen a hell of a lot
I don’t know how much I’ve lost
But love, love you are what I’ve got
