lyrics

Done waiting for the feels to hit.
I wonder, do you give a shit?
Your hands in mine could conquer time.
Hey, can you pass the Parliament?

You blew out your smoke, handed me a note.
The words on the paper made me wanna choke.
Now you’re walking away and I’m reaching out.
Are we just a dream I can’t live without?

Now I’m all blue. I know we’re through.

Take, take, take my hand, don't leave me now.
Please hold me close and I’ll show you how.
Take, take, take my hand, don't leave me now.
Walk with me, hold me close, don’t look down.

Sitting and waiting for the fear to lift.
Wondering why I give a shit.
Pacing around never served me well.
I thought I saw you but it’s hard to tell.

I stomped out my smoke. Thought about your note.
The way that it felt made me wanna choke.
You were walking away, I was reaching out.
Are we just a dream I can’t live without?

I guess I’m bored. One heart no more.

Take, take, take my hand, don't leave me now.
Please hold me close and I’ll show you how.
Take, take, take my hand, don't leave me now.
Walk with me, hold me close, don’t look down.
