Hold on my darling
Wake up, wake up early morning
The smell in the air tells a different story
Than the ones I’ve read or the ones I’ve told before
Add a little more soul and some swing to it
Is what I mean, it’s what I think I need


I stepped on a fire, mistreated my soul
Tripped on your wire, and then you got me
Got me all tired to better keep me calm
To better keep me


But hold up ‘til we get it all in line
Might have raised my voice
But I’ll never let you down
And pay close attention now
Don’t make me turn my back and leave you down and out
Yeah hope for the best that I
Don’t turn my back and leave you down and out


I stepped on a fire, mistreated my soul
Tripped on your wire, and then you got me
Got me all tired to better keep me calm
To better keep


All I ask from you
Is to trust me with your heart in my hands
And if you ask me how
Well to figure it out, that’s the beauty of love
As long as you stand beside me
I’ll keep you warm
Picture your arms around me

I see your eyes slowly giving in
Feel my fingers, sliding up your chin
I’m already high from making my way in
Now I feel my body drowning in

Every time I try
And I hate that I can’t see your colours
Every time I try
But you keep my head under the water

Maybe I misunderstood
Maybe you just had it all
Feel the walls closing in
I’m learning how to take the fall for you

Every time I try
But you keep my head under the water
