Wake me up at midnight
You charge me like a payphone every time we talk
Meet me in the pink light
Right off I-75, right before the fall
You hop inside my car with a tear
Say, "There's nothing like the fear of losing truth"
I just wanna try to protect you like your skin protects your blood
I just wanna keep you safe the way the forest keeps her young
And if I ever let you go, then my whole kingdom's done
I hold to your heart like it's palladium
I hold to your heart like it's palladium
Evergreen and asphalt, dancing on the billboards
First ones on the scene
And when I call you "baby," you smoke up like a chimney
You're too afraid I'll leave
Careful with the moon in your eyes
Say, "There's nothing like the fear of losing truth"
I just wanna try to protect you like your skin protects your blood
I just wanna keep you safe the way the forest keeps her young
And if I ever let you go, then my whole kingdom's done
I hold to your heart like it's palladium
I hold to your heart like it's palladium
Tell me what you need, baby, love
Tell me what you need, baby, love
Let me come on over with a touch
I'll make the sky our arena
I'll be Orion, you're Athena
Tell me what you want, baby, love
Let it pour out with a touch
I'm only good when I protect you
You try to fall, but I won't let you
I just wanna try to protect you like your skin protects your blood
I just wanna keep you safe the way the forest keeps her young
And if I ever let you go, then my whole kingdom's done
I hold to your heart like it's palladium
I hold to your heart like it's palladium
