Civil Twilight

every walk that i ve ever taken has been in your d

Some nights I awake
To a room, plastic and fake
In the sheets, the smell of you
Even though you were never there and I was never true
And my mind fills up with the words I own
As if they never found a home

One last thing before I go
One last thing you need to know
Every walk that I've ever taken has been in your direction

I'm gonna live, I'm gonna die
I'm gonna know what it's like to be on the edge of something
'cause the robes, the thrones, the corner stones
Will be burned into nothing
And I will know what it means to row
I will rise like the orange dust of home

One last thing before I go
One last thing you need to know
Every walk that I've ever taken has been in your direction

One last thing before I go
I wanted every part of you to know
The one last thing before I go
I loved you more

One last thing before I go
One last thing you need to know
Every walk that I've ever taken has been in your
It's been in your direction
