Dashboard Confessional

Dashboard Confessional - Write It Out lyrics

Yeah, I try to write it out, not sure what I recall

I can’t tell if it’s memory or story telling now

It happened very quickly but it seemed to last for hours

And everything was crisp and clean 'til all came crashing down

So much fire and debris that I was nearly blind with panic

And there was no one anywhere to turn to be saved

From the tyranny and cavalcade, and all use was lost

And the more that I would struggle, the more that I became entwined

And the thickets and the thorns became my flesh and I was vine

Creeping deep into the pavement, breaking ground as I grew fast

To the center of the city and up again where I did gasp

In the air or the breeze and I was still alive with a start

And there were people everywhere to behold and admire

And I longed to be one of them and though I was lost

I felt familiar with my surroundings, though they didn’t look quite right

Like some place that I had been before, under cover of night.

And I found my way by light of day to the center of a crowd

And told them I was one of them and begged them for their help.

And with stones they took their aim and I knew I would die at their hands

Where I was crowned a heretic to be loathed and set fire and laid upon a pyre of fire

And as I cast my eyes to the sky I felt your touch

So gentle and so soothing that I knew I had been saved

But my movements were so labored and my will had been betrayed

But my lips they were collop now and to them I am enslaved

And the slightest indiscretions that I made were met with rage

And I burned to be free and then you rescued me

With your voice and beckoned me beside you and your touch was alive

Sensational and vibrant and with care and your words

You say: "A secret is a stealthy thing, you cannot know its plans

You were only dreaming, dear and now you’re here with me again"

You ask if I’d account to you the spirit of my night

And you handed me this pad and this pen with which to write

While it’s fresh in your mind

Before it gets away

Before it gets away

Before it gets away

Before it gets away

Before it gets away

Before it gets away

Before it gets away

Before it gets away
