I'm running out of ways to make you see I want you to stay here beside me I won't be okay and I won't pretend I am So just tell me today and take my hand
We'll do it all Everything On our own We don't need Anything Or anyone If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me And just forget the world
You cool your bed-warm hands down On the broken radiator And when you lay them freezing on me I mumble, "Can you wake me later?" But I don't really want
Batten down the hatch 'Cause we're all coming in Like uninvited guests Romancing everything Keep your hands away From what you can't afford We don't
My wounds are nicely slated, dear I never got to thank you right I was finished way before I could see Quite what you had in mind for me I'm doing cartwheels
This could be the very minute I'm aware I'm alive All these places feel like home With a name I'd never chosen I can make my first steps As a child of
It's hard to argue when You won't stop making sense But my tongue still misbehaves And it keeps digging my own grave With my hands open and my eyes open
I'm good for inspiration, aren't I? You will find, well, close the door And I'll go anywhere you take me to From this bed onto so much more Care for
We're just waiting for our man To come through with a plan Of how the hell we turn this round And dig ourselves out of the ground We don't really want
I choked back tears today 'Cause I can't begin to say How much you've shaped this boy These last ten years or more My friends, we've seen it all Triumphs
Sworn to secrecy, I might go after school She was an angel, I saw her swimming there I am in such a mess I can't cope with this She just teases me, pretends
All this feels strange and untrue And I won't waste a minute without you My bones ache, my skin feels cold And I'm getting so tired and so old The anger
I couldn't believe what I was seeing Faces all screwed up like what I'd done I didn't mean to hurt you so much I knew it would hurt you, but not like
Has nobody asked you how you are? You look like you might not last the day I wouldn't have made it very far So we'd make a good team right away I've
I will hang on the hook of your splendor As the night rolls us up in its arms And the square of your thumbs and your fingers Is the blanket of sky that
I'll sing it one last time for you Then we really have to go You've been the only thing that's right In all I've done And I can barely look at you But
You could be happy And I won't know But you weren't happy The day I watched you go And all the things That I wished I had not said Are played on loops
You won't be around forever girl You've gotta grab life with both hands [Repeat]
