Flesh for Bones Lyrics

I'm sitting here, frozen, in this bed I made
Considering the weight of the bricks I laid, now that I'm through
One by one, sealed every crack that I could slip between to find my way back
Find my way back home to you
And I'm burning all my bridges with these matches I light
To illuminate my path to what is right
And even if it's true what they say, that you can't go back home once you've cast it away
Then I would still have left tonight

You know, baby, I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would
You know, baby, I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would

I carry with me on my way
All the ghosts of all the love that I let slip away
The heavy weight of promises made, but if I could exonerate
I might just lift off today
And I'm burning all my bridges with these matches I light
To illuminate my path to what is right
And even if it's true what they say, that you can't go back home once you've cast it away
Then I would still have left tonight

You know, baby, I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would
You know, baby, I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would

I traced your memory from my mind
But every song I write is just a wish to find you, near or far
Through all the tears and all the time that I've been running blind
I still ain't got to where you are
And I'm burning all my bridges with these matches I light
To illuminate my path to what is right
And even if it's true what they say, that you can't go back home once you've cast it away
Then I would still have left tonight

You know, baby, I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would
You know, baby, I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would
You know, baby, I would be with you if I could
To trade my flesh for your bones, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would
I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would
