lyrics

There’s a lot of fear in this old heart of mine,
of a friend, of a lover, of a sign
and she pains me when I step out of line.

I won’t entertain these thoughts by day,
so at night they sneak outside and start to play.
Come morning, I try to put them all away

I can’t live between fear and hope. Oh this world won’t be controlled.
It’s time I shed my winter coat, peel off my gloves, clear my throat,
say, “give me what you owe me before I go.”

There’s a hole in me that nothing can kill,
not religion, not the bottle, not a pill,
but it’s mine to dry or drown as I will.

I’m afraid of what you’ll see inside my head.
All the wretched ghosts I raised up from the dead.
So I show you what I think you want instead.

I can’t live between fear and hope. Oh this world won’t be controlled.
It’s time I shed my winter coat, peel off my gloves, clear my throat,
say, “give me what you owe me before I go.”
