Lyrics

0:14I'll hold your hand when you are feeling mad at me
0:22Yeah when the monsters they won't go and yourwindows don't close
0:26I'll pretend to see what you see
0:30"How long " I say
0:31How long will you relive the things that are gone
0:37Oh yeah the devil's on your back
0:39But I know you can shake him off
0:44And every day that you want to waste
0:48That you want to waste you can
0:52And every day that you want to wake up
0:55And you want to wake you can
0:59And every day that you want to change
1:03That you want to change yeah
1:07I'll help you see it through
1:09Cause I just really want to be with you
1:26You know it's funny how freedom can make us feel contained
1:34Yeah when the muscles in our legs aren't used to all the walking
1:41I know if you could snap both your fingers that you'd escape with me
1:49But in the meantime I'll just wait here and listen to you when you speak
1:55Or scream
1:56And every day that you want to waste
2:00That you want to waste you can
2:04And every day that you want to wake up
2:08And you want to wake you can
2:12And every day that you want to change
2:15That you want to change yeah
2:19I'll help you see it through
2:22Cause I just really want to be with you
2:40The truth cuts us and pulls us back up
2:44And seperates the things that look the same
2:48You can fight it off you can fight it off youcan
2:54And every day that you want to waste
2:57That you want to waste you can
3:01And every day that you want to wake up
3:05And you want to wake you can
3:09And every day that you want to change
3:12That you want to change yeah
3:16I'll help you see it through
3:19Cause I just really want to be with you
I'll hold your hand when you are feeling mad at me
Yeah when the monsters they won't go and yourwindows don't close
I'll pretend to see what you see
"How long " I say
How long will you relive the things that are gone
Oh yeah  the devil's on your back
But I know you can shake him off
And every day that you want to waste
That you want to waste  you can
And every day that you want to wake up
And you want to wake  you can
And every day that you want to change
That you want to change  yeah
I'll help you see it through
Cause I just really want to be with you
You know it's funny how freedom can make us feel contained
Yeah when the muscles in our legs aren't used to all the walking
I know if you could snap both your fingers that you'd escape with me
But in the meantime  I'll just wait here and listen to you when you speak
Or scream
And every day that you want to waste
That you want to waste  you can
And every day that you want to wake up
And you want to wake  you can
And every day that you want to change
That you want to change  yeah
I'll help you see it through
Cause I just really want to be with you
The truth cuts us and pulls us back up
And seperates the things that look the same
You can fight it off  you can fight it off  youcan
And every day that you want to waste
That you want to waste  you can
And every day that you want to wake up
And you want to wake  you can
And every day that you want to change
That you want to change  yeah
I'll help you see it through
Cause I just really want to be with you
