If I could have one wish, If I could have some say, I'd keep you far from harm. I'd roll back both my sleeves, Dig under your skin, And fix your shattered bones.
Hold on, this may hurt you When I tell you of the truth: We don't get two lives to live. It's true, the only fault I found in you Is not being free to take what I would give.
If I could bend your pain Into something good, Make you a prouder man. If I could rough you up And save you with good luck I'd show you hope again.
Hold on, we're not meant to suffer so very long Even love that's gone has never been the same Hang tight, the only fault you have tonight Sitting down so cold 'til I break in.
Oh, sad young man, I think I need you For reasons I don't know. I pledge myself to winter season So it's perfectly on course, But in the end it has to snow.
If I can make you stay Convince you you'd be lost if we were torn apart, If it remained unclear Between the two of us Which one would be the one To break the other's heart.
Hold on, this will floor me. Differently than any drug that's washed me into sleep. It's true, the only fault I'll take from you Is how to run from what you wish to keep.
