lyrics

I’ll be your own demise
Focus your wildfire eyes and burn this town
We’ll burn it down

Play me the song of your heart
Take me back to the start teach me your ways
Of which you came

Take me back to the middle of the night
Where you couldn’t keep open your tired brown eyes
Walk me back to the middle of the street
Where you couldn’t keep your balance
Because you were holding onto me

I’ll be your guarded heart
You’ll be my stubborn love; won’t let me go
Won’t let you go

Help me believe what you do
That distance is not about groundage but space between
You and me

Take me back to the middle of the night
Where you couldn’t keep open your tired brown eyes
Walk me back to the middle of the street
Where you couldn’t keep your balance
Because you were holding onto me

Like water held in open hands
Grip too tight and it goes
Grip too tight and it goes
Like water held in open hands
Grip too tight and it goes
Grip too tight and it goes
Like water held in open hands
Grip too tight and it goes
Grip too tight and it goes

Take me back to the airport goodbyes
Where we’ve never been on time and we shouldn’t start tonight
I’ll take you with me to the ends of the earth
We’ll get nicely confused and beautifully undefined
I’ll be your guarded heart you’ll be my stubborn love won’t let me go won’t let you go
