[Verse 1]
Years of compression
The years they come and go
It's all subjective
Worn boots and told you so's
Sews despair in to diamond rings
Burnin' everything as far as the eye can see

[Bridge]
If I can hold you tonight
I'll keep you so safe armor falls aside
If I can hold, baby, you tonight
I doubt it's gonna change what we are inside

[Verse 2]
I got the message
I heard it loud and clear
Should have expected
So brash and cavalier
Leary from the dancing days
Born into the world with two left feet in the grave

[Chorus]
If I can hold you tonight
I'll keep you so safe armor falls aside
If I can hold, baby, you tonight
I doubt it's gonna change what we are inside

[Bridge]
If I can hold you tonight
I'll keep you so safe armor falls aside
If I can hold, baby, you tonight
I doubt it's gonna change what we are inside

[Chorus]
If I can hold you tonight
I'll keep you so safe armor falls aside
If I can hold, baby, you tonight
I doubt it's gonna change what we are inside
