Fixative Songtext / Lyric

If there's a diamond in my mind

Will it dwindle down to naught

Or will it always be defined

If I cant fix it with my heart



So I'm returning to the place

That I might look into your eyes

And look so hard that I can taste

That winter sun that never sets

The swallow caught up in the nets

The perfect chorus when it hits

Don't slam the door, boy, when you leave



Was heading northward when I saw

That empty house out in the midst

There are traces left for sure

On every mouth you ever kissed






So I'm returning to the word

That I might look between the lines

That I might dutifully recall

The blue within your seagull stare

The funny ways you had to care

For every little thing beyond compare

Don't slam the door, boy, when you leave



So now I'm calling in the gulf

When you went walking with wolf

Hey boy, you really brought it on yourself

Don't slam the door, now, when you leave



The strangest for we ever faced

The stark in every staging grace

Is crushing diamonds into paste

Don't slam the door, boy, when you leave

Don't slam the door, boy, when you leave
