“We don’t have to be afraid, anymore”
I wish that I could say to you
It was you in that dress all backlit by the evening sun
I really don’t know why I worry

We’re all in this together
We’re all in this apart
We’ll all live on forever
in one big broken heart

Coldest skin breathing in, breathless now
If I could find a tender mind, a feather bed

So if I go on don’t let me get too high
Don’t give me reason why you weren’t by my side

You can’t mean these three words
Not right now
My cold arms ache for you
Come hold me

So if I go on don’t let me get too high
Don’t give me reason why you weren’t by my side
If I lay here, if I just lay here
would you lie with me and just breathe in the world?

Breaking the mold before we get too old
Just show me a garden that’s bursting into life

Understand, take my hand
All I am

So let me go on, don’t let me get too high
Don’t give me a reason why you weren’t by my side
If I lay here, if I just lay here
would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Breaking the mold before we get too old
Show me a garden that’s bursting into life
All that I am, all that I ever was
is here in your perfect eyes, I just couldn’t see

I don’t know where, confused about how as well
just know that something better changed now for us
So let me go on, don’t let me get too high
Don’t give me a reason why you weren’t by my side

Coldest skin breathing in, breathless now
If I could find a tender mind, a feather bed

So let me go on, don’t let me get too high
Don’t give me reason why you weren’t by my side

You can’t mean these three words
Not right now
My cold arms ache for you
Come home dear

So let me go on, don’t let me get too high
Don’t give me reason why you weren’t by my side
If I lay here, if I just lay here
would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Breaking the mold before we get too old
Just show me a garden that’s bursting into life
And all this noise, it’s your sweet voice
It’s all I hear

So let me go on, don’t let me get too high
Don’t give me a reason why you weren’t by my side
If I lay here, if I just lay here
would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Breaking the mold before we get too old
Show me a garden that’s bursting into life
All that I am, all that I ever was
is here there your perfect eyes, I just couldn’t see

I don’t know where, confused about how as well
just know that something better changed now for us
So let me go on, don’t let me get too high
Don’t give me a reason why you weren’t by my side

I wanted something
that’s purer than the water, my daughter
Majestic
and dripping with the new fear of losing

Lash out first
at all the things we don’t like or understand
The renegades
came in before the dawn broke and roused us

And it’s beginning to get to me
that all I have is one simple need
But now I’m stuck on a full retreat
Please don’t stop me, just keep my beat
And you’re beginning to get my point
That all this fighting with aching joints
is doing nothing but fire us up
We’ve all forgotten what it’s about

“I told you so”
You whispered in my hot ear and we’re through dear
We’re not through yet
No, not until I say so and you cannot go

We’re prisoners
found out among the traffic like static

And it’s so thrilling but oh, so wrong
I thank the Lord that you are so strong
And you can carry me on your back
after my enemies attack
I tried to tell you before I left
but I was screaming under my breath
You are the only thing that makes sense
So forget all this present tense

And it’s beginning to get to me
that all I have is one simple need
But now I’m stuck on a full retreat
Please don’t stop me, just keep my beat
And you’re beginning to get my point
That all this fighting with aching joints
is doing nothing but fire us up
We’ve all forgotten what it’s about

Is there a place I can go?
Is there a light to get me there?
If I’ve forgotten what to say
it’s because all words are dust
If he is really that you love
I’ll be here for you now
And I so remember this
The things I forget every day

Is there a t-shirt I can wear?
This is soaking, look at me
What do you mean you don’t love me?
I am standing here, aren’t I?
Maybe you thought of it first
Maybe I get all the praise
Is there a place I can go?
Is there a light to get me there?

When I get home for Christmas
I’ll do anything you want
I’ll wear your clothes like you asked me
All dressed up like a Christmas tree

We could spend the day together
The first time in a long, long while
You can wrap me up in tinsel
Make as much noise as you like

When I said that I loved her instead
It’s funny how you misunderstand
I only wanna hold her hand
You’re so far from me all year long
I can’t seem to right my, right my wrong

When we get home for Christmas
pleats on our knees on the floor
We’ll open presents between kisses
Your eyes burn stronger than the fire

When I said that I loved her instead
It’s funny how you misunderstand
I only wanna hold her hand
You’re so far from me all year long
I can’t seem to right my, right my wrong

Hide that grin cause your halo’s choking you
It’s just a sin that I’ve barely spoken to you
It seems like years have all come and gone so fast
and we run open exposed into the blast

Scratch the itch that has been there all along
Breathe in deep and tell me what you have done
Bleeding hands and you’re neck deep in it now
I look down so your light can’t hurt my eyes

What were you thinking?
Where you gone?
How’d you figure you were so strong?
All I’m asking is that you feel
How’s your halo?
Does it fit tight?
You look so perfect in this light
All I’m asking for you tonight

Hide that grin cause your halo’s choking you
It’s just a sin that I’ve barely spoken to you
Breathe in deep and tell me what you have done
It seems like years have all come and gone so fast
