Lay the lines to hold me in case
My words begin to break
The light strikes, frozen in place
My life will be replayed
When you wind me up
Whispers set me off
I'll be fine
When you're winding down
Silence holds its ground
We'll be fine
Call, and climb up on the rail
We stumble when we're close
We struggle through the finish line
And so, by pride or by design
We crawl before we walk, we bleed
before we cry out
Hold the night, hold it at bay
This chord of mine, still plays
The star struck, frozen in place
Our life will still remain
When you wind me up
Whispers set me off
I'll be fine
When you're winding down
Silence holds its ground
We'll be fine
Call, and climb up on the rail
We stumble when we're close
We struggle through the finish line
And so, by pride or by design
We crawl before we walk, we bleed
before we cry out
