"Split Stones" lyrics

"Split Stones"

I can see it now, tripping on split stones
Trying to make hits so we could play them loud
Picking at our souls like we didn't know
Just like we were only playing with the sound

Trying to control what was so low
But I never knew how then to just go and let it out
Get it out

But if you could fight
If you could choose
If you could say all the things you wanted to
If you couldn't lie
If you would only move like you had something to lose
If you could cry
If you couldn't sleep it off
If you could feel everything you've ever caused
If you couldn't lie
If you would only move like you had something to lose
Like you had something to lose
Like you had something to lose

And I'm not saying I would always speak up
That it didn't creep up on me all the time
I'm just saying there was a window
Where you could've let go in that place and time

Laughing all it off like it was innocent
Oh, but all I ever wanted was to get rid of it
And let it out (let it out)
Get it out

But if you could fight, if you could choose
If you could say all the things you wanted to
If you couldn't lie
If you would only move like you had something to lose
If you could cry, if you couldn't sleep it off
If you could feel everything you've ever caused
If you couldn't lie
If you would only move like you had something to lose
Like you had something to lose
Like you had something to lose

And I can see us there
You staring at me
And me just praying for air
I can see us there
Standing cheek to cheek
And counting week by week
Wishing everything would be clear
I can see us there
I can see us there

But if you could fight, if you could choose
If you could say all the things you wanted to
If you couldn't lie
If you would only move like you had something to lose
If you could cry, if you couldn't sleep it off
If you could feel everything you've ever caused
If you couldn't lie
If you would only move like you had something to lose
Like you had something to lose
Like you had something to lose
