The Only Thing - Sufjan Stevens (苏夫扬·史蒂文斯)

Lyrics by：Sufjan Stevens

Composed by：Sufjan Stevens

The only thing that keeps me from driving this car

Half light jack knife into the canyon at night

Signs and wonders perseus aligned with the skull

Slain medusa pegasus alight from us all

Do I care if I survive this

Bury the dead where they're found

In a veil of great surprises

I wonder did you love me at all

The only thing that keeps me from cutting my arm

Cross hatch warm bath holiday in after dark

Signs and wonders water stain writing the wall

Daniels message blood of the moon on us all

Do I care if I despise this

Nothing else matters I know

In a veil of great disguises

How do I live with your ghost

Should I tear my eyes out now

Everything I see returns to you somehow

Should I tear my heart out now

Everything I feel returns to you somehow

I want to save you from your sorrow

The only reason why I continue at all

Faith in reason

I wasted my life playing dumb

Signs and wonders sea lion caves in the dark

Blind faith Gods grace

Nothing else left to impart

Do I care if I survive this

Bury the dead where they're found

In a veil of great surprises

Hold to my head till I drown

Should I tear my eyes out now

Before I see too much

Should I tear my arms out now

I wanna feel your touch

Should I tear my eyes out now

Everything I see returns to you somehow

Should I tear my heart out now

Everything I feel returns to you somehow
