lyrics

I'm on the kill you don’t want me back
I’m running scared looking in the black
I’m losing sleep you don’t want me around
I’m gonna go where I can’t be found
Who doesn’t want the light to give electric to the world
I can leave the cold outside and warm you have control

I hold the river til the dawn
I hold the river til the suns away
I hold the serpent and the swan
And some glad morning we’ll be gone away

I’m on the run you don’t want me back
Out in the night when the moonlight cracks
I’m losing road and I’m losing ground
I’m gonna go where there ain’t no sound
I can leave the past behind
I can’t take it all this time
I called you up to steal your eyes and let you be the one to decide
Who doesn’t want to be the one to save their love tonite
I can't leave you out and wind up all the spitting wires

I hold the river til the dawn
I hold the river til the sun falls down
I hold the serpent and the swan
And some glad morning we’ll be gone away
