Concerning us
Concerning you concerning him
Never pity the fool
See what's broken
See the white branches
Seeing what laughs
What hurts
These last chances

Drink of choice
Swig of love
Let's finish first
What we never begun
Half-again
And half-pretend
Half for the stars
Save half for the end

I won't ever let you go
I won't even try
Hold this black rope close
This black rope, won't untie
Never as good
As forgettin' to blame
Nothin' squandered
Surrendered or strayed
The new and the useless
Switchyard crash
Faithless train
Last chances - always last

Concerning us
Concerning you
Concerning him
Never pit' the fool
See what's broken
Branches snap
One chance too many
Last chances - always last

I won't ever let you go
Won't even try
Hold this black rope close
Hold this black rope tight
I won't ever let you go
Won't even try
Hold this black rope close
This black rope, won't untie
