Open Fire

Caroline's Spine

You're gonna take me apart 
With every little thing you think you know 
From pieces, to pieces 
The lonely leaves are the last to fall 

I don't know why, where, or what exactly I didn't do 
I've had to take a tougher way 
Maybe not today 
Tomorrow tells me 

I've got no place to go 
So I won't pretend to know 
What it is inside that makes me stand 
Beside you when they open fire 

You're gonna take me apart 
Tap into a small, but noble cause 
Where nobody's listening 
Unless you look like something Santa bought 

I don't know why, where, 
Or what exactly I didn't do 
I've had to take a tougher way 
Maybe not today 

Tomorrow tells me 
I've got no place to go 
So I won't pretend to know 
What it is inside that makes me stand 

Beside you when they open fire 
Will we ever seek forever? 
The more we think the less we know 
You're gonna take me apart 

With every little thing you think you know 
From pieces, to pieces 
The lonely leaves are the last to fall 
I don't know why, where, 

Or what exactly I didn't do 
I've had to take a tougher way 
Maybe not today 
Tomorrow tells me 

I've got no place to go 
So I won't pretend to know 
What it is inside that makes me stand 
Beside you when they open fire 

They can't be far away 
You're gonna take me apart?
