Top down outside the city First warm day of the spring and we're living it White house, bright green hedges Spiked cider on the edge Of the blood red clips You took me by the shoulder Like someone much, much older And led me Behind the shattered fence Last fortress, last defense My destiny But I got the light for you It's right for you to hold me in your hand I read my stars last night They told me I might end up in your hand If you don't take control of me I'm lost at sea, out of your hand And if I should die today I pray that it will be by your hand Your hand, your hand Black cloud, like a bullet That t-shirt, pull it over your head and come Our people, where we came from Who we were when we were young is dead and gone I want you now, forever I want you deeply blooded inside of me You slipped back into town And dreamed of looking down on the city And me But I got the light for you It's right for you to hold me in your hand I read my stars last night They told me I might end up in your hand If you don't take control of me I'm lost at sea, out of your hand And if I should die today I pray that it will be by your hand Your hand, by your hand By your hand
