 If I could have one wish,
If I could have some say,
I'd keep you far from harm.
I'd roll back both my sleeves,
Dig under your skin,
And fix your shattered bones.
Hold on, this may hurt you
When I tell you of the truth:
We don't get two lives to live.
It's true, the only fault I found in you
Is not being free to take what I would give.
If I could bend your pain
Into something good,
Make you a prouder man.
If I could rough you up
And save you with good luck
I'd show you hope again.
Hold on, we're not meant to suffer so very long
Even love that's gone has never been the same
Hang tight, the only fault you have tonight
Sitting down so cold 'til I break in.
Oh, sad young man, I think I need you
For reasons I don't know.
I pledge myself to winter season
So it's perfectly on course,
But in the end it has to snow.
If I can make you stay
Convince you you'd be lost
if we were torn apart,
If it remained unclear
Between the two of us
Which one would be the one
To break the other's heart.
Hold on, this will floor me.
Differently than any drug that's washed me into sleep.
It's true, the only fault I'll take from you
Is how to run from what you wish to keep.
