Take Me Out Lyrics

Red House Painters

that sound coming from those holes
a voice that soars
and takes my wounds with it
to levels unknown
if only you could take me out
instead of back in
to a relationship i don't understand
if only you could take me out
instead of back in
to myself that's dying within
your soul pours out of those holes
music of this crazy time
when your car crashed
did your ghost find peace
and together entwine?
if only you could take me out
instead of back in
to a relationship i don't understand
if only you could take me out
instead of back in
to myself that's dying within
