The Way I Will - The Elms

Please, just deliver me peace and a chance to stay

It ain’t even closure I need, it’s a recovery

Well, I’d sink in the water or cry at the altar —

I’d bleed for a minute to say?

That he won’t bring you summer like the way I will

And he won’t make you shiver like the way I will

And he won’t love your mother like the way I will

And he won’t last forever like the way I will

God, if I’d only have thought, then she’d wear my name

Shame how you look when you fail, and babe, I look that way

Well, you say that we’re over, there’s nothing to show for

The years you spent trying to say?

That she won’t bring me summer like the way you will

And she won’t make me shiver like the way you will

And she won’t love my mother like the way you will

And she won’t last forever like way you will

Please, just a minute now

Please, just a second now

Please, just a moment to say?

That he won’t bring you summer like the way I will

And he won’t make you shiver like the way I will

And he won’t love your mother like the way I will

And he won’t last forever like the way I will
