Thereâs a game thatâs always played
and always won by fools
but everyone I know
would rather never play then lose
Thereâs a place where the innocent stand
proud before the firing squad
thereâs a church at the end of the path
where the sign reads beware of the God
And thereâs you in the alley
and thereâs me walking away
those three words still hang in the air
that I swore I would never say
So hold on now just hold on a minute
this carâs not leaving if youâre not in it
youâve no idea how lucky we are
a wound that deep would normally scar
So hold on now just hold on a minute
this carâs not leaving if youâre not in it
youâve no idea how lucky we are
a wound that deep would normally scar
I heard there was a place where the light
managed to cut through the dark
but that was just a story for children
and my chest is just a grave for my heart
Thereâs a phone thatâs always ringing
answer and a child will say
âIâd rather take my own life
then give it awayâ
And thereâs you under the west way
for to hide from the rain
and Iâm taking your picture
to be sure that I see you again
So hold on now just hold on a minute
this carâs not leaving if youâre not in it
youâve no idea how lucky we are
a wound that deep would normally scar
So hold on now just hold on a minute
this carâs not leaving if youâre not in it
youâve no idea how lucky we are
a wound that deep would normally -
But Iâve seen willows holding hands
heard birds sing in harmony
and as bodies of water rub up to the land
the riverâs mouth is kissing the sea
So hold on now just hold on a minute
this carâs not leaving if youâre not in it
youâve no idea how lucky we are
a wound that deep would normally scar
So hold on now just hold on a minute
this carâs not leaving if youâre not in it
youâve no idea how lucky we are
a wound that deep would normally scar
So hold on now just hold on a minute
this carâs not leaving if youâre not in it
youâve no idea how lucky we are
a wound that deep would normally scar
So hold on now just hold on a minute
this carâs not leaving if youâre not in it
youâve no idea how lucky we are
a wound that deep would normally scar
(so hold on now just hold on a minute)
(this carâs not leaving if youâre not in it)
(youâve no idea how lucky we are)
(a wound that deep would normally scar)
(hold on now just hold on a minute)
(this carâs not leaving if youâre not in it)
(youâve no idea how lucky we are)
