Hold Your Wrists

I was taking all my time
Stubbornly refused to walk the line with you
I was sick and scared to death
Everything around me just revealed truths
Now it's a long way back to the place where I need to be
Cause there is not a place where I can go

I was always making holes
In everything that I was ever told to face
I didn't want to comprehend
That all the time we chose to spend was time to waste
Now it's a long way back to the place where I need to be
Cause there is not a place where I can go
And I'm glad you taught me so

I will dig your hole; I will lay you down
I will kiss your feet; I will press your brow
I will hold your wrists as your pulse desists
And then I'll know

I was seeking friendship from
The shapes under my eyelids, I was wrong to try
But you can't force a man to see
When he's aware he's nothing left to leave behind
Now it's a long way back to the place where I need to be
But there is always time for simpler things, oh

I will dig your hole; I will lay you down
I will kiss your feet; I will press your brow
I will hold your wrists as your pulse desists
And then I'll know

Learning now to reacquaint a soaring youth with common pain
And a sadness hiding safe with a blessed faith maintained
With sulphur lying on my sleeve and water running in my wine
The life that got diluted is the life that we all left behind

I will dig your hole; I will lay you down
I will kiss your feet; I will press your brow
I will hold your wrists as your pulse desists
And then I'll know
Ooh, and then I'll know
Ooh, and then I'll know
