Mixed Metaphors Lyrics

In that way we were like late night trains
Treading dark and empty carriages behind in our minds
In that way it felt like I was looking out
On you as a forest of plantation pines
And I am the woodsman, I will cut you down to size
When I guess what you're thinking, don't you dare act surprised
You'll give your stealth away
Give your self away

That day we were both laying blame
Like the cables between islands we'd let ourselves become
And I could've sworn I saw myself suspended
In the bottle you keep when you need to feel numb
But I won't be the stopper, I can't stop you in your tracks
When I hold you to this, no I won't just relax
'Cause it's bigger than that
