Battalions

Please say you’ll come along tonight
Please sing the words we love
Don’t say that you forgot them
Don’t keep the hand we’ve come to hold
I know you want to
Untie this rope and let it go

Please pose my skeletal remains
Give them a working pen
And I will live forever
Please let them love me though I fade
I know you want to
I know you want to
I know you want to run away

We're burning our own tonight
No single spies when sorrows come
They come on battalions
We're finding our own tonight
A little light to keep it on
Our own battalion

Please keep the sounds from running out
Please let our steps fall soft
Keep them from hearing our talk
Please let some hope come with the day
I know you want to
I know you want to
I know you want to run away

We're burning our own tonight
No single spies when sorrows come
They come on battalions
We're finding our own tonight
A little light to keep it on
Our own battalion

And I know you want to
And I know you want to
I know you want to run away

And so we watch the time we keep
You know that I am swift
You know that I am quick
You know that I am fast asleep

We're burning our own tonight
No single spies when sorrows come
They come on battalions
We're finding our own tonight
A little light to keep it on
Our own battalion

And I know you want to
And I know you want to
And I know you want to run away
