[Intro]
I saw
From the cathedral
You were watching me

Yes, I saw
From the cathedral
What I should be

So, take my time
And take my lies
'Cause all the others
They want to take my life

[Verse 1]
And I watch with an intent—basic
Well, it's the same for you
You hold your hand
And it's all fine-laced and
What would you make me do?

[Chorus]
So, take my time
And take my lies
'Cause all the others
They want to take my life
[Verse 2]
Serious for the winter time
To wrench my soul
Whole cotton, whole cotton ears
But I know there must be
Yes, I know there must be
Yes, I know there must be a place to go

[Chorus]
And you saw me
From the cathedral
Well, I'm an ancient heart

Yes, you saw me
From the cathedral
And here we are just falling apart

You catch me
I am tired
I want all that you are

[Bridge]

[Chorus]
And I saw
From the cathedral
You were leaving me
Yes, I saw
From the cathedral
You could not see to see

So, take my time
And take my lies
'Cause all the others
They want to take my life
