[Verse 1]
I know you know I know
That there's something that's worth holding on to
In spite of the burned-out scene and the aging pains
And the quiet little monsters
And you know I know you know
That I feel the same, I feel just like you do
When I hear you say sometimes
There's something pure about growing up lonesome
[Pre-Chorus]
And all my life, I was the quiet kind
I just kept to myself and my dreamin'
And all my life, I've just tried to survive
I'm not trying to shut you out
[Chorus]
And she says, "I just wanna live
And if I get the chance, then I would wanna live again
But I get this nightmare where you leave me on my own
And all I want is to let you know
But my words get lost and haunt the back of my throat
And little nightmares keep telling me you'll go
Keep telling me you'll go"
[Verse 2]
I see you shake and shake and shake and shake
And I wanna reach out now
'Cause there must be a brighter light
There's a simple life that gets past these breakdowns
And you know that I know you know
That I crash the same, in tiny little pieces
You gotta know that I'm on your side
And there's something gold about someone you can bleed on
[Pre-Chorus]
And all my life, I was the killing kind
I was cruel as the cold, stormy weather
And all my life, I've just tried to survive
I'm not trying to shut you out
[Chorus]
And she says, "I just wanna live
And if I get the chance, then I would wanna live again
But I get this nightmare where you leave me on my own
And all I want is to let you know
But my words get lost and haunt the back of my throat
And little nightmares keep telling me you'll go
Keep telling me you'll go"
[Bridge]
Don't you know there's an ocean of hope
Underneath the grey sky where you're dreaming?
And it's so hard to know which lonely hand you should hold
But you can hold me until you don't want me
And we can cry together through the bad dreams
We can cry together through the bad dreams
We can cry together through the bad dreams
We can cry together through the bad dreams
Through the nightmare that is the waiting, and
[Chorus]
And she says, "I just wanna live (like that)
And if we get the chance, then I would wanna live again
But I get this nightmare where you leave me on my own"
(Goodbye, baby)
"And all I want is to let you know
But my words get lost and haunt the back of my throat
But wild horses couldn't drag me away"
(From you, baby)
[Chorus]
She says, "I just wanna live
And if we get the chance, then I would wanna live again
But I get this nightmare where you leave me on my own
Where you leave me on my own"
