Lyrics
You're a castaway lost at sea, temporarily
I was never home to you, you were home to me
Before we lost our way
I'm sure you said something like "love is blind"
So blinded if you pull the shades
Conveniently, there's nothing to find
Stay with me, stay with me a while
Before you go, hold me like your child
I wanna hate you, I wanna scream
You let me love you so tenderly
But nothing does survive in me
So sit back, and watch me bleed
And pour me, pennyroyal tea
Mmmm, Mmmm
You're a constant northern star, toss my map aside
Guide me into deeper waters
You were just a satellite
So send me back to sea
I'm not a mother anchored to the land
I thought I saw a face like yours
It was water in my hands
What have you done to our sweetest end?
What we had before we could have again
For now I hate you, it's the worst
Said it won't be long till it don't hurt
But ya coulda called to check on me
From this world, you untethered me
Even worse than for you to leave
Is when you poured me, pennyroyal tea
Mmmm, Mmmm
Mmmm, Mmmm
Stay with me, stay with me a while
Before you go, hold me like your child
