Dashboard Confessional

The Shade of Poison Trees

If you knew,

What I know,

Would you try?

Before your time

Has run on you

And worn you down

Would you know,

What you desire,

In your heart?

If you knew,

What I know,

Would you try?

Is there time?

Is there time?

To follow just one desire?

Is there time?

Is there time,

To follow your heart?

Dress your wounds

Test your strength

Face the night

Crave the touch

Feel the pain

Know the signs

Is there truth,

In your pain?

You decide

If you knew,

What I know,

Would you try?

Is there time?

Is there time?

To follow just one desire?

Is there time?

Is there time,

To follow your heart?

As we lie

In the shade

Of poison trees

Are we as safe

As we let

Ourselves believe?
