I Don't Know What to Say

I don't know what to say - but stay
Until the meaning comes and finds you anyway
You may not be certain
You may not ever choose
You may find your heart revealed like a bruise
When you didn't call me
When you did call
Like water efflorescing through a brick wall
Now we're laughing again
Walking late at night
The catch in your throat
The catch in mine
I don't know what to say
So I say too much
And maybe through it all
You felt the warmth of my touch
I want the mud of love to catch at my knees
All the silt and sand between you and me
Pulling from mountains every black stone
Round every eddy in the river
Down to the valley below
Dragging for bodies, memories forgot
Your hands on my shoulders, everything I want
Just don't go - stay
Everything has changed a thousand times anyway
Like we had no power
Like we had no sway
The heartbreak you know will find you either way
