lyrics

Kara, won’t you stay out of my songs? Kara, won’t you stay out of my songs? I’m a liar and a thief and I don’t want to get this wrong. I am a lupine crier for belief, and I don’t want to lead you wrong.

You aren’t all I need – believe me, I don’t know what could be. Don’t leave me.

Don’t look for me when I’m gone. Kara, won’t you stay out of my songs? All the choirs and the keys were a cheap kerosene poured on. I’d set the heap on fire if it’d keep this disease out of reach for long.

You’re in the air I breathe. Believe me, you are the care I seek. Don’t leave me out where the arms of sleep receive me and everything I see deceives me.

Once there was a love song. I held it deep inside, strangled out the life, and ran out for a place to hide. How do you write a love song when you don’t trust your tongue, or anything that’s sung? Don’t meet me where I’m coming from. Don’t leave me back where I belong. Don’t meet me where I’m coming from.

Kara, won’t you stay out of my songs?
