"whole thing" lyrics

You know I wanna, but I can't
Lord knows I've spent all this time
Just staring down at the edge
But don't I know what's good for me now?
Isn't that the whole point
Of getting totally knocked down?

The whole thing gets wrapped up with a string
Tied to a stone and dropped in
See you by the side of the van
For a second thought I was smarter
Thrown like a dart, only thing I need again

And I've been through this
Don't think that I'd forget
The way you got me down so bad
I swore I'd never be back again
But I'll get on the ground, just like I was before
And I'll be bleeding out as if I don't remember

The whole thing get's wrapped up with a string
Tied to a stone and dropped in
Sink your soft flare in my veins
Slow hawk in a circle, cursed but
You say the word, only thing I need again

And time's been doing its work, but I find
The weight is calling
And I forget what I've learned
The whole thing, the whole thing

Gets wrapped up with a string
Tied to a stone and dropped in
Only thing I need again
Climbed up to the tower
Singing those songs, I don't remember what
Something right out of a dream
You were my dark sky, center of a heart I swear by
Some things only end up in pain
Now I'm standing at the tunnel between us
Know better but, only thing I need again
