Torches Together Lyrics - Me Without You

Why burn poor and lonely 

Under a bowl or under a lampshade 

Or on the shelf beside the bed 

Where at night you lay turning like a door on it's hinges 

First on your left side, then on your right side 

Then your left side again 

Why burn poor and lonely? 

Tell all the stones, we're gonna make a building 

We'll be cut into shape and set into place 

Or if you'd rather be a window, I'll gladly be the frame 

Reflecting any kind of words, we'll let in all the blame 

And ruin our reputation all the same 

So never mind out plan making, we'll start living 

Anyway, aren't you unbearably sad? 

Then why burn so poor and lonely? 

We'll be like torches, we'll be like torches 

We'll be like torches, we'll be torches together 

Torches together 

We'll be like torches, we'll be like torches 

With whatever [Incomprehensible] our tattered dignity demands 

Torches together, hand in hand 

Why pluck one string, what good is just one note? 

Oh, one string sounds fine, I guess but we were once 'One Note' 

We were lonely wheat, quietly ground in the grain 

What light and momentary pain 

So why this safe distance, this curious look? 

Why tear our single pages when you can throw away the book? 

Why pluck one string when you can strum the guitar 

Strum the guitar, strum the guitar 

Strum the guitar with no beginning, with no end 

Take down the guitar and strum the guitar 

Strum the guitar if you're afraid and I'm afraid, everyone's afraid 

And everyone knows it but we don't have to be afraid anymore 

You played the flute but no one was dancing 

You sang a sad song but no one was crying 

You played the flute but no one was dancing 

And you sang a sad song but no one was crying 

You played the flute but no one was dancing 

You sang a sad song but no one was crying 

You played the flute but no one was dancing 

And you sang a sad song, you sang a sad song, sad song
