Lyrics
Break You
by Will Hector
The train is late, I stop my running
40 minutes out, oh well
It?s Sunday in an empty downtown
Took a walk around the block
To burn some energy I?ve been storing up
Packing my bags since dawn
Finally I?m sitting back
High above the railroad tracks
And the downtown begins to move
I don?t want to break you like, break you like I did that summer
I don?t want to see you fall
I don?t want to break you like china falling on the floor
I don?t want to break you like I did before
Words upon the page I?m reading
Rattle around with the sound of my breathing
As the car rocks back and forth
And as we cross the Mississippi
Snowflakes from the sky start dripping
It?s December in my heart
Finally I?d see your face
Years ago in that same place
Across the table where we met
I don?t want to break you like, break you like I did that summer
I don?t want to see you fall
I don?t want to break you like china falling on the floor
I don?t want to break you like I did before
10 p.m. at the railroad station
No one hears my nascent
Heartbeat for the very first time
I don?t want to break you like, break you like I did that summer
I don?t want to see you fall
I don?t want to break you like china falling on the floor
I don?t want to break you like I did before
