oh, this season is a sweetheart of the sorrow
her garden grows
and oh, tomorrow will be the best thing i ever had
devoured in change; i said your name
Hayley, la la la
hey i'll catch up with you
and i do, i do
Hayley, la la la
don't you wait up
Hayley, la la la
we'll make it last, oh no
i killed this evening's reaper so the fevers that fall will break
then you know i'll know your taste
Hayley, la la la
don't you wait up
Hayley, la la la
come with me
we'll find our way
though when i try
that's when i find
that there's a new king
and i'm the new prince of the nothing
and now they think i don't have anything
but HVM, i'll give you something
i'll save my last breath up for you
it's all for you
we'll make this last
we'll make this last
this afternoon's still rushing all the minnows to her arms
where i'll be and you are
Hayley, la la la
don't you wait up
Hayley, la la la
i know your wrists and i know your voice
denied, this boy might always miss
so come become mine
and save me a kiss
i've got starshine for my headlights
and miles in my pockets
when i stitch in the bullets
they won't find what i've hidden here
you know i'll stitch them all inside
then love stay
because the walls won't hold outside
you know tonight
i'm gonna keep you here somehow
and love i'll try
although my verse won't keep your eyes
so please love stay
because these walls won't hold outside
these flowers that smile today tomorrow die
and the vast empires of minnows depart
as i gather up the wine the stars all lay down
and they aim me toward the minnows and my quiet grave
where i'll rest my old heart
i'd hide it here forever
but her dead hand's reaching out
tonight, tonight, tonight
oh my, tomorrow we'll run away
counting our steps in days
and tomorrow we'll run away
and count up our steps in days
no no no
now i know all of the air won't turn outside
but if tonight we make this last
and our garden grows and grows
and i could be who you cry out for
i would stay
through yesterdays and yesterlaters
yesteralways, yesternevers
i would stay
i'd be a scream away
away
but now this air tonight holds my plane
don't you breathe it in
'cause when the flight comes for me
if i leave, it will never be the same
so wait up tonight
anyway that you choose me i would stay
and be home
i'd be home
