6. Leave You Behind
How Airplanes Fly
When the War Came (4 May 2011)

I’ll light candles in this dungeon; I can keep you one
House of red or house of green, we shouldn’t be this torn

Let me hold you ’til the break of dawn
Let me hold you, ’cause I can’t move on

You don’t see me the way I want you to
Why can’t you love me? What do I have to do?
Is it because I wear this serpent on my sleeve?
Is it because you know that I could never leave you behind?

I don’t care about outing werewolves or hanging upside down
Potter and his friends, and all their games; they’re nothing but clowns
When I saw you playing in that field, I knew
I could show you something magical, something new

Let me hold you ’til the break of dawn
Let me hold you, ’cause I can’t move on

You don’t see me the way I want you to
Why can’t you love me? What do I have to do?
Is it because I wear this serpent on my sleeve?
Is it because you know that I could never leave you behind?
