Esprit D'escalier

All that I could tell you
If the words and courage came
They hide like city animals
Turn and duck out in the shade
There's no short of the shadows in the city
Or the black holes in my brain
Won't you come out
Won't you come out
Won't you come out
Won't you come out
Won't let you down
Won't let you down
Won't let you down
Won't let you down
I will pull you through
I will pull you through the air
Every time I see you
Every time I say good night
Every thought I thought is gone
Rats running from the kitchen light
Then I hear them talking in the stairwell
Where do you go when I need you most?
Won't you come out
Won't you come out
Won't you come out
Won't you come out
Won't let you down
Won't let you down
Won't let you down
Won't let you down
I will pull you through
I will pull you through the air
I will pull you through
I will pull you through the air
I will hang this banner up
Up above you, with all the words I lost
A hundred pigeons pull it tight
All around you
The wicked world can watch
See their faces as they read it
Watch them witness
Watch them bend a knee
All the animals come up, up behind you
Watch the rush hour start
(Rush hour start)
This fucking fear has ruined me
Tied my tongue and tripped my feet
And I swear to you there's more beneath
This scared stone muttering
There's no short of shadows in this city
Come out tonight till the sun rises
Come out tonight till the sun rises
Come out tonight till the sun rises
Come out tonight till the sun
Won't you come out
Won't you come out
Won't you come out
Won't you come out
Won't let you down
Won't let you down
Won't let you down
Won't let you down
I will pull you through
I will pull you through the air
I will pull you through
I will pull you through the air
I will pull you through
I will pull you through the air
I will pull you through
I will pull you through the air
