Before I Go Out Lyrics - Singles - Jordan White

With thorns and rushes 

Of rose and sorrow 

Yesterday got taken out 

By tomorrow 

And I promise to tell you something 

If you tell the sun not to rise 

And if you keep my secret 

I'll keep your lies 

We're in a little bit of trouble 

For the little things we need 

When all the rainy days 

Either shine or they bleed 

With no separate peace 

The branches hang too low 

There's somebody caught 

In the catcher left below 

(Chorus) 

But if the sun, it don't need me 

And the shadows just don't please me 

Could you let me come over again? 

Let me come over again 

It gets darker by the mile 

Every glance that you pull down 

Lean my head against the wheel 

Lean against the sound 

And the pavement hits us hard 

All the concrete steps 

If my blood was in your veins 

Would you tell me where it went 

(Chorus) 

And when I needed someone 

I knew I'd go without 

Like the bulb that burns it's brightest 

Just before it goes out 

(Chorus)
