lyrics

"I would be seventeen if I were born when I lost my sleep.
And I’m not free; I still feel my palms grow and my fingers shrink.

I would be one year old if I were born when you let me go.
And I’m not free; I still hold hands like a child when I cross that road.

I know, I know, it’s killing me, killing me.
I know, I know, it’s killing me.

I would be so relieved if you could see what I believe,
but you’re not free, you still sing out for a meaning that you can’t reach.

And I don’t know when the world is gonna be fair,
but it don’t mean that I don’t care,
even if it’s hard for me to always be there.
I got my strength and I know that I got my weakness, too,
I got these plans my hands don’t seem to want me to do.
But hold your head up, love,
‘cause when we get up, love,
we might be mad or sad, but someone believes in us.
I trust that the sun will always come up,
even when we cry through the night,
we got each other, honey, that’s why –

I know, I know, what’s killing me, killing me.
I know, I know, is saving me, saving me."
