Putting pennies on the track, shiny and flat,

It was the best we could be, sexy and free

The damage she'll survive

Every life we've lost

Damn all the cost of the assault

You tied a knot and you dared me,

The stem of a cherry,

To find my own humanity

Bm G A

And just let it breathe

[Chorus]

Hold my head up in this moment

C#m G

Keep myself from fading away

Pull my hands out of pockets and
