Sinking Stone Lyrics - Paper Airplane - Alison Krauss & Union Station

I called you today 

Wanting a change 

I never meant to hurt anyone 

Never meant for you to pull out your guns 

But feelings won't stay 

In this meager parade 

You're beating to a different drum 

In this lack of all the luster we've become 

Save your breath 

You know we've both 

Tried our best 

But it's leaving 

This might as well be done 

I'm falling with the sun 

When the hours getting sour won't save with time 

I'm waving off the one 

Who wouldn't let me run 

Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on 

I'm untying this sinking stone 

Don't sit on the fence 

Living past tense 

Holding on to wishes and words 

Folding out a picture we blur 

'Cause here in the end 

I'm losing a friend 

Fighting back a tear when it burns 

Dividing up the pieces that we were 

Save your breath 

You know we've both 

Tried our best 

But it's leaving 

This might as well be done 

I'm falling with the sun 

When the hours getting sour won't save with time 

I'm waving off the one 

Who wouldn't let me run 

Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on 

I'm untying this sinking stone 

I can't say you're all alone 

I'm accepting what I own 

Here lies a blanket and not a bandage 

I'm unable to restrain 

When the wake that we became 

Is drawing me under 

This might as well be done 

I'm falling with the sun 

When the hours getting sour won't save with time 

I'm waving off the one 

Who wouldn't let me run 

Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on 

This might as well be done 

I'm falling with the sun 

When the hours getting sour won't save with time 

I'm waving off the one 

Who wouldn't let me run 

Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on 

I'm untying this sinking stone
