Held Tightly In Your Fist Lyrics

Everybody's got the new ideas; lend me your ears,
I'll sell you something that you'll swear you've heard before.
Seems everybody's had their share of fun, seams come undone,
Their pieces stitched together,
It's not quite right.
I took a walk in the sun,
All the sad songs I've sung with disappointment,
All the people that I've done wrong,
Disappear, in a spark of desire,
Like lightening on paper, set my soul on fire

CHORUS
There is no breeze; or roots and trees can blow this fortress down.
A big parade, or cavalcade, the circus is in town.
No towering wave; no steady rain hounding against the shore,
Could ever change a thing,
I couldn't love you more

Everybody's felt the sucker punch of cheating hearts,
A brand new start,
I know I told a lot of lies to get me here.
But it felt like I could never stay just friends,
This s*** show circus, never ends.
Somehow you, you keep and direct an impenetrable chest,
I fetched a bristle that refuses to punch its weight.
Now please, with a beat of desire,
Like lightening on paper set my soul on fire.

CHORUS

So let's just lip synch, battle ships,
Hold my love tightly in your fist.
'Cause I'm tired of fighting on a coast that can never be free.

CHORUS
