Catch A Collapsing Star
Our margins and revisions Where we both first made our living In an alcove, filled with sawdust There, a new light fell upon us
Hail the lepers, call the outcasts Did we just not know to ask? I could see you blazing through the frost In amazing grace and a hacking cough
Took dictation, wrote it shorthand No one's sorrier than I am I was young, that's no excuse For the harm and the abuse
So what was it that you wanted What would you've done if you had got it? It was always ever gonna go so far 'Til someone thought to push you from the car
Accept no imitation, baby, catch a collapsing star But it's your limitations that make you what you are
Our margins and revisions Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Where we both first learned forgiveness By the moonlight in the forest Where our lives spread out before us
So you wrote me in a letter You can stay gone but don't stay bitter It was always ever gonna end the same 'Til someone thought to push you 'neath the train
Took vacation in New Orleans and I held you on the shore there Splurged your words, confused your thoughts Spoke in riddles no one got So what was it that we wanted and God forbid if we had got it
It was always gonna have to go too far 'Til someone turned the light out at the bar
Accept no imitation, baby, catch a collapsing star Oh, it's our limitations, it's our limitations Oh, it's our limitations That make us what we are
