And the air was full of various storms and saints
Prayed in the streets as the banks began to break
And I'm in the throat of it, somewhere in the belly of the beast
But you took your toll on me, so I gave myself over willingly
You got a hold of me, I don't know how I don't just stand outside and scream
I am teaching myself how to be free
The monument of a memory, you tear it down in your head
Don't make the mountain your enemy, get out, get up there instead
You saw the stars out in front of you, too tempting not to touch
But even though it shocked you, something's electric in your blood (play these as barred chords
to get the studio effect)
And people just don't tire themselves, I'm calling life - lost
If you could just forgive yourself
But I see you stumble, feet give way
Outside the world seems a violent place
But you had to have him, and so you did
Some things you let go in order to live
While all around you the buildings sway
Singing our love made us this way
I know you're bleeding, but you'll be ok
Hold on to your heart, you'll keep it safe
Hold on to your heart, don't give it away
You'll find a rooftop to sing from, find a hallway to dance
You don't need no edge to climb from, your heart is there, it's in your hands
I know it seems like forever, I know it seems like an age
But one day this will be over, I swear it's not so far away
And people just don't tire themselves, I'm calling life - lost
If you could just forgive yourself
But I see you stumble, feet give way
Outside the world seems a violent place
But you had to have him, and so you did
Some things you let go in order to live
While all around you the buildings sway
Singing our love made us this way
I know you're bleeding, but you'll be ok
Hold on to your heart, you'll keep it safe
Hold on to your heart
