A painted heart on a sidewalk
A bleedin' scene on a silver screen
I feel my ego when I talk
Lost myself in the in-between
Lustless eyes filled with love now
Sending in every calvary

A few more souls on the bus now



Shut my eyes right at seventeen

Always hits me

I'm always shifting



Take my hand, now and forever

Where I stand, how can you live and let die?

Oh, man, look in the mirror

Take my hand, and don't you ever let go

(Take my hand, now and forever)

(Take my hand, now and forever)

Don't you ever let go

(Take my hand, now and forever)

(Take my hand, now and forever)



Told myself maybe someday

I'd fall down from the centerpiece

I treat my mind like an ashtray

I owe you an apology

Breakin' plans on a Sunday

With myself, maybe make some peace

I forgot every birthday



Open eyes right at twenty-three

Always hits me

That I'm always shifting



Take my hand, now and forever

Where I stand, how can you live and let die?

Oh, man, look in the mirror

Take my hand, and don't you ever let go

(Take my hand, now and forever)

(Take my hand, now and forever)

Don't you ever let go

(Take my hand, now and forever)

(Take my hand, now and forever)



Pick apart all of the pieces

While I'm running out of time

Iron out all of the creases

And just hang me out to dry

Shallow hearts for shallow minds

That ache to be alive

We fall apart and redefine

What keeps you up at night



Oh, take my hand, now and forever

Where I stand, just as you losing yourself again

Look in the mirror



Take my hand, now and forever

Where I stand, how can you live and let die?

Oh, man, look in the mirror

Take my hand, and don't you ever let go

(Take my hand, now and forever)

(Take my hand, now and forever)

Don't you ever let go

(Take my hand, now and forever)

(Take my hand, now and forever)
