Circa Survive

spirit of the stairwell

Scratched out a note I wrote for you
to wake and read
to know that I was there once
I knew that there was nothing that I could write to assure you
of my return
But all the paper said when I was done is
â??do you still want me?â??
because Iâ??d be terrified if I had to leave this place today
We havenâ??t saved the baby

As I said
my darling
spring is constantly calling me
and thereâ??s no place that Iâ??d rather be

I wonâ??t be angry
if you have to leave,
but I wonâ??t be waiting
for that day
So donâ??t say youâ??re sorry because
I wonâ??t believe you

Didnâ??t see a sticker on the door when we walked in
but I know itâ??s going to cost us
the same amount of love it takes to get you through
but it never moves you
Iâ??d be terrified if I had to leave this place today
Itâ??s where I threw my love away
Then we saw a different side of â??Annieâ? nobody saw
She tried to kill the baby

and the earth and its skin will open up
and birth out a perfect mirror
that makes all our reflections clear

I wonâ??t be angry
if you have to leave,
but I wonâ??t be waiting
for that day
So donâ??t say youâ??re sorry because
I wonâ??t believe you
