[Verse 1]
We stepped out in the morning
Rolled the light beneath the waves
And fired off a warning
The delight was rearranged
Stick your head out

[Pre-Chorus]
So count on me when you're falling down
Don't give up on what we got now
I hear you calling
So count on me when you're falling down
And just stop giving what you can't give now
I hear you calling

[Chorus]
She said
Hold my hand
Nothing now will change the mortal man
Mortal man
My friend
Nothing now will change the mortal man
Mortal man
Mortal man
Mortal man
Mortal man

[Verse 2]
We stepped out in the morning
Holding tight beneath the shade
Stuck our heads out
And fired off a warning
To fly out in the night
Keep your head out
To the calling
If you make it with your hands
You will better understand
So keep your feet out
To the calling
And if we take a stand
And sever all our plans
[Chorus]
She said
Hold my hand
Nothing now will change the mortal man
Mortal man
My friend
Nothing now will change the mortal man
Mortal

[Bridge]
And I've been feeling cold inside
I'm a loaded gun
Maybe I'm a waste of time, ey'
And I know it's just a state of mind
But oh, the state I'm in
Oh-oh, the state I'm in, I-I-I
And I wonder how I'll live this life
And I've been floating by myself for way too long

[Chorus]
She said
Hold my hand
Nothing now will change the mortal man
Mortal man
My friend
Nothing now will change the mortal man
Mortal man
[Post-Chorus]
Count on me when you're falling down
Don't give up on what we got now (Mortal man)
I hear you calling (Mortal man)
Count on me when you're falling down
Don't give up on what we got now (Mortal man)
I hear you calling

[Outro]
Nothing now will change the mortal man, ey'
