lyrics

last time that i yearned,
last time
that i yearned,
thought it would be,
hoped it would be
the last time

last time that i yearned
you’d think i
would've learned,
but the lack of promise
always makes me feel
at home

the flood always comes
then you gotta build a dam - give a damn
mete it with your own two hands

ya claw at it all,
deeper into no man's land - one man's damn

with that language that we made,
let die,
then tried
to build again

oh you sweet trick of yearning
leave me alone,
rightfully
cuz i did not ask
for this
regret is a wondrous soil,
leave it be,
leave me be -
to dismantle,
decay,
fall away,
free-fall
from the bones
free-fall from the bones

oh let this yearning chase me,
am wise to the tricks
and i am free -
and have all you rivers to thank

i'll hitch with those instead,
you'll get no resistance
out of me,
more people
can ride,
ride you clean -
forever more
