Well I said, "Take it or leave it," and she left it on the bedroom floor

And in the midst of all this clamor is the struggle to remember us before

Sit down beside me, pick a place and read
D MajorD G+G
And I will hear you, and I will hear you
Post-Chorus:

And on that day you took your turn, I sat with loneliness we learned
