give yourself up to the moment know you will die i don’t know what you needs do without doing work with ease the small is great i don’t know what you need the path to the light seems dark forward goes back what is direct seems long i don’t know what you need you’re never alone know you are loved you’re never alone know you are needed you’re never alone hold me you are all that i need you are all that i need you are all that i need

she’s coming home on the 12.30 train but she told me that things aren’t the same my baby don’t want to play my baby don’t want to play we used to dance like stars in the morning we used to howl like wolves at night but my baby don’t want to play my baby don’t want to play i can’t do it i don’t want to be alone be the only heart beating in my empty home but my baby don’t want to play my baby don’t want to play in the morning in the morning in the morning she’ll feel different in the morning when the mountain doesn’t look impossible to climb she knows i love her i love her she’s coming home on the 12.30 train and she told me she don’t want to see me again my baby don't want to play

losing you one breath at a time i feel like i am losing my skin losing you one breath at a time losing you’s like losing my mind i feel like i’m tearing my limbs from my body i’m losing you one breath at a time i can see what’s underneath it stings like petrol on a burn i waited too long to tell you how my hands shook when you spoke to me i can’t for give my self for my smugness and my big dumb stupidity and with each breath you take i’m stone that’s falling away losing you one breath at a time when i hold you in my arms it’s like grabbing something rubber and dead losing you one breath at a time i can see what’s underneath it stings like petrol on a burn losing you one breath at a time

once they’re gone once they’re gone it’s too late to be unsure once they’re gone once they’re gone it’s too late to be insecure and as the car slides towards the railing and you find that all of the voices merge to one shout in your mind it’s too late it’s too late it’s too late once you’ve drawn once you’ve drawn enough red to coat the walls once you’ve drawn once you’ve drawn enough red to hush the squalls and as your hand slides towards the dressing on her head your finger slips on where the tears and flesh are spread it’s too late it’s too late it’s too late

our thoughts take us to the edge and threaten to delude our senses, all mixed up, mislead and our lives start to unglue i sit dumb, your eyes laugh and dance like jewels held up to golden sunsets and i realise i’m in love again and i don’t know what to do so we tiptoe with faces high to rain and cloud and storm you’re kind and you’re gentle with where my heart is frayed and worn i sit dumb what will we become i’m scared that you will say we’re done and i realise i’m in love again and i don’t know what to do and i realise i’m in love again and i don’t know what i’ll do
6.
While we sit at home and see the bullies foam and spit and choke with rage I will hold you When we walk down the street with eyes low to avoid the stares and the posters and and the stones and the calls I will hold you As the mobs clash and the batons fly and the gutter runs with blood and puke and tears and shoes and teeth I will hold you And when we wake to the pounding on the door I will hold you I will hold you I will hold you
