The Milk Carton Kids - Ribbon Lyrics

The Milk Carton Kids Lyrics

"Ribbon"

Can I wrap my arms around you
If I go, if I go
Can I wrap my arms around you
If I go
If I go back to a memory
Will you come back there to meet me
Can I wrap my arms around you
If I go

Will the tears rise up around me
If I stay, if I stay
Will the tears rise up around me
If I stay
If I stay inside a heart
That's afraid to fall apart
Will the tears rise up around me
If I stay

Nothing ends with a ribbon around it
Yes, I know, yes, I know
Nothing ends with a ribbon around it
Yes, I know

Will I grow the wings I need
If I try, if I try
Will I grow the wings I need
If I try
If I try to leave behind
Just a little at a time
Will I grow the wings I need
If I try

Nothing ends with a ribbon around it
Yes, I know, yes, I know
Nothing ends with a ribbon around it
Yes, I know

Nothing ends with a ribbon around it
Yes, I know, yes, I know
Nothing ends with a ribbon around it
Yes, I know
