lyrics

Does everybody come here
Up the curling stair
By your cotton dress
A spring awash with flowers?

Does everybody lie here
Another tingling spine
In your storyline
As you reveal your superpowers

Don't tell me I'm the first
Don't tell me I'm the last
Just kiss me into the age of stone
And wait with me here
While all the other ages pass

Does everybody come here
To lay their mask aside
To take their faith inside
The orbit of your breathing

Does everybody come here
A foreign tongue
Who has just begun
To find itself among your meanings

Don't tell me I'm the first
Don't tell me I'm the last
Just kiss me into the age of stone
And wait with me here
While all the other ages pass

Don't tell me I'm the first
Don't tell me I'm the last
And please don't tell me

That everybody comes here
And you anoint their wrists
Like this, like this
Till they are buds upon the season

That everybody comes here
With no place to start
But their ember heart
Just let this quiet hum appease us

Don't tell me I'm the first
Don't tell me I'm the last
Just kiss me into the age of stone
And wait with me here
While all the other ages pass
