Walked my expectations back
So much for my reprieve
When they’ve handed you your coat and hat
I guess it’s time to leave
Back to the clarity of four am
confusion when it’s three
thoughts that sleep can’t overtake
and there’s no rest in the dreams.
So hold me now while I’m tripping
Hold me now while I’m slipping through these blues
The door is open but it’s closing in
The windows broke but not opening
A fuse done blown but you put out the light
The trumpets roar but don’t know who to fight
It’s what happens when you stumble in on
Someone else’s crazy
only you can save me
So hold me now while I’m tripping
Hold me now while I’m slipping through these blues
So hold me now while I’m tripping
Hold me now while I’m slipping through these blues
Hey, let’s hold this starry night
Hey, make you feel all right now
Hey let’s hold this starry night
Cos there’s a whole lot of love in the room tonight
Gotta make it last until the daylight finds us
While we’re still slipping through the cracks
There’s a light above my bed Sending thoughts into my head
Little things seem so complex Now they’re causing me distress
There’s no reason there’s no rhyme It’s not life it’s doing time Waiting for it to be clear How the hell did I get here
So hold me now while I’m tripping
Hold me now while I’m slipping through these blues
So hold me now while I’m tripping
Hold me now while I’m slipping through these blues
Hey lets hold this staryy night
hey lets make you feel all right (repeat until your guitarist gives you the stinkeye then let him finish the solo)
