And I'd 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 St. 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 We knew this much St. Paul had his day Call it off, call it over You wish I never came St. Paul, don't write me off St. Paul, don't write me off I swear I'll call it off Swear to it Swear to it
