What to say
I was wrong
I've been holding this torch for so long
And I just can't let you stay
On that side of this coded wall
And we go out every night
But we go our two separate lives
And I just can't let you be
Chorus:
So won't you hold on
My dear oh
The years turn quickly
The nights burn slow
Ah but trust me
We'll get you home
Those lonely first steps
These windy roads
And I know that you're right to be gripping those heartstrings so tightly
They're glistening slightly from all of that sweat on your palms
And we go out every night
But we're falling to pieces inside
And I just can't let this be
Chorus:
So won't you hold on
My dear oh
The years turn quickly
The nights burn slow
Ah but trust me
We'll get you home
Those lonely first steps
These windy roads
I'll call you when we get home
All of this stone behind
I'm gonna run away with you
Sit somewhere with a different view
Your shadow in the grass makes two
Are we gonna? Are we gonna?
I'm gonna run away with you
Sit somewhere with a different view
Your shadow in the grass makes two
Are we gonna? Are we gonna?
Chorus
Hold on
My dear oh
The years turn quickly
The nights burn slow
Trust me
We'll get you home
Those lonely first steps
These windy roads
What to say
I was wrong
I've been holding this torch for so long
And I just can't let you stay
On that side of this coded wall
And we go out every night
But we go our two separate lives
And I just can't let you be
I just can't let you be
I just can't let you be
I just can't let you be
I just can't let you be
I just can't let you be
