I am only a child
Living in the darkness
With my heart skipping beats
Staring at the matches
Now I wait for the wind
To tell me we are all crazy
Now I sing for the stars
I'm here but my voice is shaky
I used to wait for the world to change
I suppose there's still time left in the day
Can I hold your heart in mine
Can I hold your heart in mine
Can I hold your heart in mine
Can I hold your heart
I did keep it all inside
It ricocheted it's ceaseless
Though my organs are tough
I dial my machinist
And he arrives with the part
I've never even heard of
He says it's new fancy tech
And starts to make the first cut
And who am I if not dying all the time
And who are you if not diamonds on the vine
Could you hold my heart this time
Will you hold my heart this time
Will you hold my heart this time
Will you hold my heart
As I'm watching the dirt
Pile on the gravestone
I have only one thought
What I could have done better
So when you reach the gold mine
Could you pull out a pen and paper
Write me a letter
And burn it in the wind
Now I can hear your heart in mine
I can hear your heart in mine
I can hear your heart in mine
I can hear your heart
Now I can hear your heart in mine
I can hear your heart in mine
I can hear your heart in mine
I can hear your heart
Now I can hear your heart in mine
I can hear your heart in mine
I can hear your heart in mine
I can hear your heart
I am only a man
Living in the darkness
With my heart skipping beats
