Bonnie “Prince” Billy
Resist the Urge
[Verse 1]
If I should die before I wake
Resist the urge, resist the urge
To cry or falter for my sake
I didn't die, I didn't die
If you should wake and I'm not there
Resist the urge, resist the urge
I'm in your breath, I'm in your hair
I haven't gone away

[Chorus]
I'm holding you and singing strong and constant in your ear
I may not be there bodily, but in the wind, I'm here

[Verse 2]
If you should miss the touch of me
Resist the urge, resist the urge
You're not without that much of me
I wasn't just a body
And if you need reminders, child
Resist the urge, resist the urge
Look 'round at what is huge and wild
And there you'll see the way

[Chorus]
I'm holding you and singing strong and constant in your ear
I may not be there bodily, but in the wind, I'm here
[Outro]
I didn't die (I didn't die, I didn't die)
I didn't die (I didn't die, I didn't die)
