Bones
Yearning Echoes: Embracing Longing and Redemption in 'Bones'
Lyrics
You said I was born to love you,
You affirmed that I was destined to love you.
So then why won't you call?
Why are you not calling me despite saying that?
And everytime that I tried to phone you,
Every time I attempted to call you,
You'd say nothing at all
You responded with silence.
I know that it's too late
I recognize that it's too late,
and there's nothing left to do
and there's nothing more to be done.
But honey I've got to admit
However, I must confess
That I miss missing you
that I miss the feeling of missing you.
I've been trying my best
I've been making an effort
To understand
to comprehend
all the things we said last night
all the things we discussed last night.
I've been trying my best
I've been making an effort
to make things right
to set things right.
And I won't settle for
I won't accept
Sleeping on my own
sleeping alone.
And I won't settle for
I won't accept
Leaving you alone
leaving you by yourself.
If there's just one feeling
If there's just one emotion
I wanna feel it in my bones
I want to feel it deep within me.
I know that it seems that we're over
I understand it appears that we're finished,
And that the weight of the world
and the burden of the world
Has finally fell our shoulders
has finally lifted from our shoulders.
I know that it's too early
I know it's too early,
But I'm dying to hear you say
but I'm eager to hear you affirm
That you wouldn't have it any other way
that you wouldn't want it any other way.
I've been trying my best to acquiesce
I've been striving to accept
all the things we did last night
all the things we experienced last night.
I've been trying my best
I've been making an effort
to make things right
to set things right.
And I won't settle for
I won't accept
Sleeping on my own
sleeping alone.
And I won't settle for
I won't accept
Leaving you alone
leaving you by yourself.
If there's just one feeling
If there's just one emotion
I wanna feel it in my bones
I want to feel it deep within me.
