I cut the chord Left leaves in all the books I read, of course And ran ragged, screaming songs from your house I was without I was without You lost your head None of this makes sense now, you said You fell into the sky like rain on rewind Still you're on my mind You've been on my mind ♪ Your throat crackled like jam jars rattled A song sun somewhat sparse, but parsing it I heard a whimper, a threat and a quiet that Spoke of a somewhere you'd rather be You said, "Needn't you worry, I'll be back in a hurry" Went off like a light switch, I sang out in strained pitch That places are static, but there'll be ghosts in the attic Regardless of which roof you're under, my dear ♪ With a flint, you lit a fire, but it was fleeting And you flinched as my hands felt you freezing Our brittle bodies huddled close for safekeeping 'Til our fervor fueled the fire we'd been needing ♪ Still, I cut the cord A fire's not enough to keep me warm With us, it's always been another storm But you're on my mind You've been on my mind You've been on my mind You've been on my mind You've been on my mind
