What's Left of Your Nerve
Sat outside the darkened house
Reading one of your old letters
I'd carried it from town to town
I sometimes hoped for you
Things got better
It says" We've got a place by the river now
The rooms are full of light, it's still our town
If there's such a thing as a second chance...
I want it now."
That's what it says
Things you keep
Some things you were never meant to lose
The things you keep
Some things the world cannot refuse
The things you keep
You thought there was a way out
So you took it on your hands and knees
Oh what if your best days are gone
How do you plead?
And if day to day is a hurting thing
You're even tired of all beauty now
And you said goodbye to your baby face
You said it to just about everything
Things you keep
Some things you were never meant to lose
The things you keep
Some things the world cannot refuse
The things you keep
Everybody was skinny then
Nobody said you wouldn't win
You said goodbye to your baby face
And just about everything
Things you keep
Some things you were never meant to lose
The things you keep
Some things the world cannot refuse
The things you keep
Everybody was skinny then
Everybody was skinny then
And they said you wouldn't hear
You said goodbye to your baby face
And just about everything
How do you plead?
How do you plead?
How do you plead?
How do you plead?
How do you plead?
Reading one of your old letters
I'd carried it from town to town
I sometimes hoped for you
Things got better
It says" We've got a place by the river now
The rooms are full of light, it's still our town
If there's such a thing as a second chance...
I want it now."
That's what it says
Things you keep
Some things you were never meant to lose
The things you keep
Some things the world cannot refuse
The things you keep
You thought there was a way out
So you took it on your hands and knees
Oh what if your best days are gone
How do you plead?
And if day to day is a hurting thing
You're even tired of all beauty now
And you said goodbye to your baby face
You said it to just about everything
Things you keep
Some things you were never meant to lose
The things you keep
Some things the world cannot refuse
The things you keep
Everybody was skinny then
Nobody said you wouldn't win
You said goodbye to your baby face
And just about everything
Things you keep
Some things you were never meant to lose
The things you keep
Some things the world cannot refuse
The things you keep
Everybody was skinny then
Everybody was skinny then
And they said you wouldn't hear
You said goodbye to your baby face
And just about everything
How do you plead?
How do you plead?
How do you plead?
How do you plead?
How do you plead?
