I Want To Know Your Plans
Say Anything · ...Is a Real Boy [2004]
When I go to sleep for good will I be forgiven
And if you want roses you can go buy a bouquet
If that just won't cut it, well what can I say
You're what keeps me believing the world's not gone dead
Strength in my bones put the words in my head
When they pour out to paper it's all for you
'Cause that's what you do, that's what you do
I want to know your fear from your feet to the back of your ears
When they raise the landing gear will your heart stay here
If you could forgive me for being so brash well you, you could hit me or whip me
Ohh, I'd savor each lash
You're what keeps me believing the world's not gone dead
Strength in my bones put the words in my head
When they pour out to paper it's all for you
'Cause that's what you do
No more fighting, this is only a waste of our time
Ohhh 'cause soon we'll be leaving, will this strength still be mine
I'll look out for you till I die, till I rot
I'll remember you till I die, till I rot
You're what keeps me believing the world's not gone dead
Strength in my bones put the words in my head
When they pour out to paper it's all for you
You're what keeps me believing the world's not gone dead
Strength in my bones put the words in my head
When they pour out to paper it's all for you
'Cause that's what you do
