I was looking down at you
Smiling up at me
For once I held you tight
But shadowed hands grabbed at me

Your 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
God damn, I didn't even die
To hold it so I've grown
Well, I fought time but lost

It was love like a callus
You're scarred enough to be
Tough and immune to; 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
God damn, I didn't even die
To hold it so I've grown
Well, 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

To criticize and judge
How did I end up here?
With these standards I'm forced to love
Make me disappear, hold tight

To criticize and judge
How did I end up here? (look, another year went by)
With these standards I'm forced to love
Make me disappear, hold tight

Hold tight
