And I say it flutters and fades The heart it grows Shade with the day I knew this much But something's colder We're growing apart I'm getting older She had a great Head on her shoulders She knew this much But still, I told her She's getting away But cards aren't folded, oh I wanted to stay But still I'm hanging on Saint Paul, don't write me off I'm not trying to step on your feet Don't want to hold you down I weigh too much I'm a burden to your words I'm not trying to throw you off beat Don't wanna slow you down I want too much I'm the splinter in your foot I'm the pathway that you took You’re snow-packed You’re glacial at heart You've played to my vice A shoulder of ice You knew this much Saint Paul had his day Call it off, call it over You wish I never came Saint Paul, don't write me off Saint Paul, don't write me off I swear I'm coming up Swear to it Swear to it
