I lived a dead year of caution
I took my strange heart to auction
All i knew was o my god when
I first saw you

You keep your head up in the air
You know that i could take you where
You wouldn’t care who doesn’t care
Cause they don’t know you

I hear the screaming in your blood
Could i be your ordinary love
All the consequences of
They think they own you

We are miles above that now
But who are we when we touch down
Is it china or chinatown
Just below you

Hold on
If you want
I got you

We walk this rope without a net
Leave back what hasn’t happened yet
Forget the birds around your head
The things they told you

Those futures hanging by a string
The threads laid down for following
False ties and and imitation things
Nothing to show you

There is no perfect outcome
There is no perfect another one
We’ll do this thing until it’s done
If you want to

Straight up or watered down
What's gonna happen now
Is it china or chinatown
Just below you

Hold on
If you want
I got you

I lived a dead year of caution
I took my strange heart to auction
All i knew was o my god when
I first saw you
Oh my god
I first saw you
