Bare Hands

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Cut me loose in mid-September I was out of my element Started buildin' up these walls Keeping everybody outside of them Bare hands holding on to the wire [Verse 2] Weeks pass, the Earth is turning Things start swimmin' into focus Now I'm rolling your words through my cheeks Like a mouth full of poison I watch it all go up in a fire [Chorus] (Ah) You were feelin' lonely, and you called me Hopin' I'd be home (Ah) You're like a bad trip or a sick habit I shoulda left it alone You were feelin' lonely, takin' advantage Knowin' I wouldn't say no (No) You're just a bad trip, I can't help it Oh-oh-oh-oh [Verse 3] Wake up alone, now it's December There's snow out in the yard A cold wind cutting through my jacket As I drift up the boulevard That sinkin' feeling creepin' in again No matter what I try And I'm just waiting for a signal I'm just staring down at my Bare hands holding on to the wire Good lord, I'm worn out, and I'm always tired Bare hands holding on to the wire And I'm always tired [Chorus] (Ah) You were feelin' lonely, and you called me Hopin' I'd be home (Ah) You're like a bad trip or a sick habit I shoulda left it alone You were feelin' lonely, takin' advantage Knowing I wouldn't say no (No) You're just a bad trip, I can't help it [Bridge] (Ah) You were feelin' lonely (Ah) And you called me (Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah) (Ah) Takin' advantage (Ah) You're just a bad trip, I can't help it Oh-oh-oh-oh [Outro] Bare hands holding on to the wire Bare hands holding on to the wire Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah...
