Have and Hold

Please don't take this either way
Let's just air it out
Like I've said I'm just trying to say
What we're with and without

Theories speak of wonders in
Absent love intact
Unprepared now all too aware
How it's been adding up

Cos even before we're counting
Every heart beat knows
That it was hard to keep up our late night resolve
Having's not holding
When you're too far to hold

The pointed moments coming passed me
Through my hands they flow
The more I know the more I don't
So I chose when I spoke

Cos even before we're counting
Every heart beat knows
That it was hard to keep up our late night resolve
having's not holding
When you're too far to hold

Turning up then losing what I want to say to you
If the world should stop I'd thank my luck
With no regrets for the time we spent

I just need to have you here
They won't understand
The many years have muddled their tone
As they've shouted each other down

Cos even before we're counting
Every heart beat knows
That it was hard to keep up our late night resolve
Having's not holding
When you're too far to hold
