lyrics

there were signposts pointing every which way
as we were loading boxes in the car
and autumn leaves fell in the trunk, covering up,
the evidence we’d fallen so far.

and I made out like it was no big deal –
I made out like I was coming home!
this is the scene where I made out like a bandit
and I made off with all that I could handle

and thou shalt not steal!
the heart of the one you try to heal
leave the healing in the hands of those
who understand the power of the drugs they hold

will mailboxes always take me back to you?
the little red flags, signaling need.
saying stop here, please don’t forget me!
cause I have something that someone wants to see.

and the smell of rain on dirty city streets –
the pavement worn and cracked and tired.
reminds me: I never liked it much here anyway.
still, it feels strange without saying goodbye.

and thou shalt not steal
the heart of the one you try to heal
leave the healing in the hands of those
who understand the power of the drugs they hold

and you are a decision I have made
you are stolen goods I can’t take back
and even if there are things that I would undo
by now
…it’s a little bit late for that.
