Stepladders - Every Stone Lyrics

I watch the water from the top, the river swells and splashes up
Ripples in shallow water, where I can't see the bottom
Take note of every stone, some skipped and others left alone
I write your name in the sand, it's washed away before the end

I'm not giving you another chance. To hold my hand - just to see dry land, and
I'm not giving you another chance. Let's just play nice... it's Valentine's

The leaves are taken from the trees, by Mother Nature's petty thieves
At least we know we've got em; but each time I fall for autumn
The seasons can't remember what happened last September...
At last, we resolve to not fall back in love, and

I'm not giving you another chance. I promise you - like I always do, and
I'm not giving you another chance. To make believe, that this works for me

Tough act to follow, like the rain - a clap of thunder: celebrate!
A great excuse for silence, relax those heavy eyelids...

It's pouring down and every sound is almost enough to catch you
Remembering your arms around someone else, before I met you
Memories, I start to see as they approach the surface
Stuff that I could not believe - and now I'm nervous - still

I'm not giving you another chance

I'm not giving you another chance. To take it back - and overreact
I'm not giving you another chance. To say "goodbye", only you know why
I'm not giving you another chance. To make a mess, and then just forget
I'm not giving you another chance. To break my heart for the sake of art
I'm not giving you another chance. To act like this, and then second guess
I'm not giving you another chance. To try me out when you have your doubts
I'm not giving you another chance. To pack your clothes, when everybody knows
I'm not giving you another chance. To dream again - is this the end?
