The Concussionist Songtext
von Nations Afire

What would you do if I crashed my car into your house
To show I′m alive?
Dragged my battered, bruised body from the wreckage
In your bedroom
And wrapped something clean around my arm
Like a tourniquet
Begging me please not to fall asleep
The concussion hits
The concussion hits

Oh, holy bible
Oh, bitter rivals
Won't someone please take me home?

I fought the laws of gravity
(I fought the laws of gravity)
′Cause I thought your love would give me wings
So say goodnight
Just say goodnight
Yeah


Tell me the truth if you think I'm out of my head now
And throw me away
Wrap my battered, bruised up pride in your best kiss
'Cause you′re heartless
Once someone says your name in the dark
You can never leave
Begging me please just to let go of, of your purple wrists
′Cause I'm hurting them

Oh, holy bible
Oh, bitter rivals
Won′t someone please take me home?
So tell me

I fought the laws of gravity
(I fought the laws of gravity)
'Cause I thought your love would give me wings
So say goodnight
Just say goodnight
Yeah

Run forever, run forever
You′re never alone, never without me
Run forever, run forever
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so tell me

'Cause I fought the laws of gravity
(I fought the laws of gravity)
′Cause you said your love would give me wings
So say goodnight
Goodnight
