Anberlin – Dismantle Repair

one last glance from a taxi cab

images scar my mind

four weeks felt like years

since your full attention was all mine

the night was young and so were we

talked about life, God, death, and your family

didn’t want any promises

just my undivided honesty

and you said,

oh, things are gonna change now for the better

oh, things are gonna change oh they’re gonna change

I am the patron saint of lost causes

my fraction of who I once believed (change)

only a matter of time

opinions I will try and rewrite

in my pen, background music,

playing your song,

I’ve got to be honest, I tried to escape you

but the orchestra plays on,

and they said,

oh, oh, things are gonna change now for the better

oh, oh, things are gonna change

[Chorus 2x:]

it’s like secrets are the hardest things to keep from you

lines and phrases like knives your words can put me through

dismantle me down, (repair) you dismantle me, you dismantle me,

give me time to prove

to prove I want the rest of yours (prelude)

call this a prelude to a lifetime of you,

it’s not that I hang on every word,

I hang myself on what you mean,

its not that I keep hanging on,

I’m never letting go,

[Chorus 2x]

[Bridge:]

save me from myself

save me from myself

help me

save me from myself

save me from myself

oh, oh, things are gonna change now for the better

oh, oh, things are gonna change

[Chorus 4x]
