i'd walk the water to get back to you
and where i was complete
we found you scattered by the highway side
too soon to be released
gathered the pieces up and clean the places
where you were undone
and washed the wreckage out unfinished all the
thoughts that we'd begun
i came to burn the sky and tear away
the beauty that it sows
if i could rape the day and find the things i thought
i'd always known
leave it alone again tonight
i laid your arms out long untwisted there
and shaped what i could find
unmade the most of it then left the rest
the parts unrecognized
my reconstruction was the only way
for one last look at you
i lost the sense of it
the absolution
that we never knew
leave it alone again tonight
leave it alone again tonight
leave it alone again tonight
and it takes me back from this place here
it takes me back from this place here
i came to burn the sky and tear away
the beauty that it sows
if i could rape the day and find the things
i thought i'd always known
leave it alone again tonight
and it takes me back from this place here
from this place here it takes me over
might be lost in this place here
from this place here it takes me on
tonight leave it aloneMichael McDonald/Lester Abrams
Hey, don't worry, I've been lied to
I've been here many times before
Girl, don't you worry, I know where I stand
I don't need this love, I don't need your hand
I know I could turn, blink, and you'd be gone
Then I must be prepared any time to carry on
But minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on
You will stay just to watch me, darlin'
Wilt away on lies from you
Can't stop the habit of livin' on the run
I take it all for granted like you're the only one
Livin' on my own
Somehow that sounds nice
You think I'm your fool
Well, you may just be right
'Cause minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on
Call my name and I'll be gone
You'll reach out and I won't be there
Just my luck you'll realize
You should spend your life with someone
You could spend your life with someone
Minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll be holding on
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll be holding on...
