If I could have one wish
|
If I could have some say
|
I'd keep you far from home
|
I'd roll back both my sleeves
|
Dig under your skin
|
And fix your shattered bones
|
|
Hold on,
|
This may hurt you when I tell you of the truth,
|
We don't get two lives to live
|
It's true,
|
The only fault I've found in you
|
Is not being free to take what I would give
|
|
If I could bend your pain
|
Into something good
|
Make you a prouder man
|
If I could rough you up
|
And save you with good luck
|
And show you hope again
|
|
Hold on,
|
Weren't meant to suffer so very long
|
Leaving love that's gone has never been a sin
|
Hang tight,
|
The only fault you have tonight
|
Is shutting down so cold till I break in.
|
|
Oh sad young man,
|
I think I need you.
|
For reasons I don't know
|
I pledge myself to winter season
|
So it's perfectly on course
|
But in the end it has to snow.
|
|
If I could make you stay
|
Convince you you'd be lost
|
If we were torn apart
|
If it remained unclear
|
Between the two of us
|
Which one would be the one
|
To break the others heart
|
|
Hold on,
|
This will floor me differently
|
Than any drug that's washed me into sleep
|
It's true
|
The only fault I'll take from you
|
Is how to run from what you wish to keep
|
