Hold me close, I know it’s freezing
Toes are numb. The sun is bleeding
Through the broken blinds in your free house
Oh, I know it’s moved so quickly
The floor - it shook
You fell into me
Every moment makes me lose my breath

So hold me close in the back room of your house
My lips won’t be the same again
Well, you can take the heart that is beating from my chest
And you can take these memories from my head

As we awoke beside each other
Our innocence, it fell asunder
And I would see that light go out again
We were too young to not see clearly
Or old enough to finally keep the whole world outside of our heads?

So hold me close in the back room of your house
My lips won’t feel the same again
Well you can take the heart that is beating from my chest
And you will free these memories from my head

You’re not a failure, you’re not a martyr
You’re not the only one lost at sea
I have seen things that made me stronger
And I have felt the shore pining for me
Did I want this? Did I need this?
I’m the one who felt lost at sea
Oh, we’re either lovers or ex-lovers
We cannot escape each other
Language bound us eternally
