lyrics
I kept on playing
To keep you handsome
Keep the lights on
To keep you home
My love is a tight one
Loves the good ones
Loves to keep up
She’s so en vogue
When I’m losing
My veins are bruised and black like stone
I can’t blame her
The shame is so sharp
So my love goes out alone
Lock your arms around my ears
Hang on me darlin’
Can’t believe that you’re still here
Hang on me
Clawed our way through the ugly years
Hang on me darlin’
Why are the critics all I hear?
Hang on me.
When I step out love
It’s not because I’m shamed by you.
I'm just sick of lying when all your friends ask
When all your dumb friends ask ‘how’s he doin’?’
I could not read you
You loved to win more than you Loved.
I could not re-write you
I can not re-write
I can not read you, oh my God.
So we sit quiet
Our spoons are twisting
Our spoons are twisting inside our soup
I can not leave you
I can not leave you…
But it’s come up a time or two.
Lock your arms around my ears
Hang on me darlin’
Can’t believe that you’re still here
Hang on me
Clawed our way through the ugly years
Hang on me darlin’
Why are the critics all I hear?
Hang on me.
