I was looking down at you
Smiling up at me
For once I held you tight
But shadowed hands grabbed at me
Your head was in the clouds
Now those clouds are in your head
It's when you needed me
So I listened to what you said
Look, another year went by
They keep passing by
God damn, I didn't even die
To hold it so I've grown
Well, I fought time but lost
It was love like a callus
You're scarred enough to be
Tough and immune to; your body adapts, you see
To all above my head
And all below my feet
No, that's one freedom you'll never take from me
Look, another year went by
They keep passing by
God damn, I didn't even die
To hold it so I've grown
Well, I fought time but lost
To criticize and judge
How did I end up here?
With these standards I'm forced to love
Make me disappear, hold tight
To criticize and judge
How did I end up here?
With these standards I'm forced to love
Make me disappear, hold tight
To criticize and judge
How did I end up here? (look, another year went by)
With these standards I'm forced to love
Make me disappear, hold tight
Hold tight
