lyrics

I was wondering if you ran colder than me
Then what of my confidence is so wrong
Everything in place, every hand, every grace
Makes you warm again

I was holding on to some soft muttered breeze
Down the windows of—

Alchemy, I did it wrong
I cannot change, can’t rearrange
How a fire settles in

Tell me if you ever felt better with the light on
With the sirens loud over me
Said “her” in a letter, thought not too long til it’s gone
But when you’re proud, and you can’t be loud,
You hold it deep

I’d tell you if you coulda but I gotta wake up in the morning
It’s hard enough thinking I’m not where I’m supposed to be
If we put the letters together, sipping tea, outside and it's storming
If it can’t be right, why, every night
Do I hold it deep

Life was my only defense
But hand to God, I’m defenseless
Every reason so senseless

Holding my life in your hands
Oh, let let the light in
At least I’m trying to let you

I was wondering how so much of me
is you but I never felt some old part slip away
Better than the same, a little calm, a little sane
A fitting love that fits the pain

I have planned and made such a daring escape
A thousand times in a dream that I shared you know
Stealing from the rich, giving to the poor
Nothing less, nothing more

Tell me if you ever felt better with the light on
With the sirens loud over me
Said “her” in a letter, thought not too long til it’s gone
But when you’re proud, and you can’t be loud,
You hold it deep

Ask me if I wish I coulda changed my mind by the morning
I felt like I belonged to a burden
I was never meant to be free
What a beautiful thing can awaken your heart without warning
If it can’t be right why every night
Do I hold it deep

Seems every night when I turn out the light I still it deep
