 I was looking  down at you smiling  underneath
 For once  I held you tight, but shadow  hands grabbed at me
 You're head  was in the clouds, now those clouds  are in your head
It's  when you needed me, so I listened  to what you said
 Look another year went by,
 They keep passing  by,
 But damn  I didn't even die,
 Too old  and slow I've grown,
 I fought  time but lost
 It was love  like a callus you scarred  enough to be
 Tough  and immune, your body adapts  you see
 To all  above my head, and all  below my feet
No  that's one freedom you'll never take  from me
 Look another year went by,
 They keep passing  by,
 But damn  I didn't even die,
 Too old  and slow I've grown,
 I fought  time but lost
To  criticize and judge,  how  did I end up here
 With these standards  I'm forced to love,  make  me disappear
Hold  tight, hold  tight
 x2
To  criticize and judge,  how  did I end up here
 With these standards  I'm forced to love,  make  me disappear
To  criticize and judge,  how  did I end up here
 With these standards  I'm forced to love,  make  me disappear
Hold  tight, hold  tight, hold  tight, hold  tight
Look  another year went by
Hold  tight, hold  tight, hold  tight, hold  tight
