leave it alone lyrics

I'd walk the water to get back to you
And where I was complete
We found you scattered by the highway side
Too soon to be released

Gathered the pieces up and clean the places
Where you were undone
And washed the wreckage out, unfinished all the
Thoughts that we'd begun

I came to burn the sky
And tear away the beauty that it sows
If I could rape the day and find the things
I thought I'd always known

Leave it alone again tonight
Leave it alone again tonight
Leave it alone again tonight

I laid your arms out long untwisted there
And shaped what I could find
Unmade the most of it then left the rest
The parts unrecognized

My reconstruction was the only way
For one last look at you
I lost the sense of it
The absolution what we never knew

Leave it alone again tonight
Leave it alone again tonight

And it takes me back
From this place here
From this place here

I came to burn the sky
And tear away the beauty that it sows
If I could rape the day and find the things
I thought I'd always known

Leave it alone again tonight
Leave it alone again tonight
Leave it alone again tonight
Leave it alone again

And it takes me back
From this place here
From this place here
It takes me over

I'd be lost
In this place here
In this place here
It takes me on

Tonight leave it alone
Tonight leave it alone
Tonight leave it alone
Tonight leave it alone
