Say You Will
Trails and Ways Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing's meant to last forever
Replace my blood with fresh cement
Shatter when I hit the ground
Pick me apart and
Set aside the parts of me
You want to keep
But I can't guarantee they'll last longNo, I can't guarantee they'll last
Take every part of me you hate to see
And throw it to the side
Made mistakenly, poor quality
But without those parts I'll die
Yeah, I'll make any excuse
To be of no use
It's the dust that holds together
Through every storm that you will weather
Clean it up and watch
The pieces fall and scatter on the ground
Maybe we can find a way to fix it
Maybe if we don't we'll be complicit
We want it all
But there is nothing left for us to take
No, there is nothing left for us
Take every part of me you hate to see
And throw it to the side
Made mistakenly, poor quality
But without those parts I'll die
An empty ending to an empty life
Time is killing me, but that's alright
Yeah, I'll make any excuse
To be of no use
Set aside what you will keep
But it won't count for anythingNo, it won't count for anything
Take every part of me you hate to see
And throw it to the side
Made mistakenly, poor quality
But without those parts I'll die
An empty ending to an empty life
Time is killing me, but that's alright
Yeah, I'll make any excuse
To be of no use
Set aside what you will keep
But it won't count for anything
I'll make any excuse
To be of no use

Love the 70s R&B vibe to this song. And the tweety birds and chimes is such an artistic touch. The chords are also very unique. This is what you call music
