The war was real
Felt it out on those streets at night
People talking like they don’t know themselves from wrong and right

Holy water was flooding the taps
Of every man, woman and child
Guess I got nothing left to prove
So I’ll hang around for a while

We were lost in the darkness
Waiting for the light to come back
And take us home
Don’t want to feel restless
Baby I’m not looking for trouble.

I can’t keep on holding on to you
Just because you want me to
I can’t keep on holding on to you
But I don’t know what I’m supposed to do without you

Time is sacred it’s the only thing we really have to lose
It’s a canyon stretched out into the wilderness and over the moon.
It’s impossible to know
What makes a man change
Could it be the helplessness
Of someone else’s pain

We were lost in the darkness
Waiting for the light to come back
And take us home
Don’t want to feel restless
Baby I’m not looking for trouble.

I can’t keep on holding on to you
Just because you want me to
I can’t keep on holding on to you
But I don’t know what I’m supposed to do without you

Dancing in the fire when I see you after midnight
Like lightning in my bones
Hold me underwater when you know that I’m trying to come back up for air

I can’t keep on holding...

I can’t keep on holding on to you
Just because you want me to
I can’t keep on holding on to you
But I don’t know what I’m supposed to do without you
