Take My Hand

  • 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

    Open eyes right at twenty-three
    Always hits me, yeah
    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)

    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

    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)

    (Take my hand, now and forever)
    (Take my hand, now and forever)
    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)
    (Take my hand, now and forever)
    (Take my hand, now and forever)
    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 Writer/s: Luke Robert Hemmings
