Sprinklers are on as they are late at night Signaling dawn, though I can't see the light yet Nothin' is wrong, but the sleep I can't find And the fact that you're here, if only in my mind My heart's keeping time, which means every day is long No burden of mine, what's gone is gone I say I've let go, proud of a failed grip Nothin' free 'bout the fall, but I've landed it Nothin' free 'bout the fall, but I've landed it And I wish I could be just a little more profound Use some metaphor like: I'll be the fox to your hound's teeth Because I'd face the risk of you huntin' me down If it meant I had a chance just to have you around I'll stop runnin', I've stopped runnin' Instead, I just say it's not a want it's a need As long as I'm held, I don't care if it's by teeth (You can hold me between) (Do you think I will bleed?) (Please be gentle with me) (Hold me by your teeth) I don't care if it's by teeth (You can hold me between) (Do you think I will bleed?) (Please be gentle with me) (Hold me by your teeth) You can hold me between Do you think I will bleed? Please be gentle with me Hold me by your teeth You can hold me between Do you think I will bleed? Please be gentle with me Hold me by your teeth
