A painted heart on a sidewalk A bleeding sun on a silver screen
I feel my ego when I talk Lost myself in the in between Lustful eyes filled with love now
Sending in every cavalry A few more souls on the bus now
Shut my eyes right at seventeen Always hits me I'm always shifting
** Take my hand, now and forever Where I stand, how can you live and let die?
Young man, look in the mirror Take my hand and don't you ever let go
(Take my hand, now and forever) (Take my hand, now and forever)
Don't you ever let go (Take my hand, now and forever) (Take my hand, now and forever)
Told myself maybe someday I'd fall down from the centerpiece
I treat my mind like an ashtray I owe you an apology Breaking plans on a Sunday
With myself maybe make some peace I forgot every birthday
( ** )
Pick apart all of the pieces, well I'm running out of time
Iron out all of the creases and just hang it out to dry
Shallow hearts for shallow minds that ache to be alive
You fall apart and redefine what keeps you up at night
Oh, take my hand, now and forever Where I stand just as you're losing yourself again
Look in the mirror
