If You Intend

10,000 Maniacs
If you intend to live again
Then open your eyes and don't pretend you're feeling
There's nothing worth believing
God, if you persist you'll die like this
And wither in the midst of your first season
Cut down with no reason
How can you be so near and not see everything?

If you intend to live again
Then take the outstreched hand of the one who needs you
It's been so long, we've missed you
Why do you intend to speed your end?
Lie in the dark and let your limbs grow weaker
Sinking low then deeper
How can you be so near and not see everything?

Feel what might be, see what I see
Again and again and again and again, say you don't
Again and again and again and again, say you don't
You say you don't, but you will

Say, you'll say you don't, but you will

You say you don't, but you will

How can you be so near and not see?
