Catch These Hands
There comes a day when I’ve spent enough time growing old
Illuminated by the skylight of my pitiable soul
Take the worst things out, I can’t be bereft ‘a good stuff
Freefalling up, freefalling up

There comes a day when I’ve heard enough about my life
This street is paved for me, no lanes or aggravating lights
Take the best in life, there must be something for me
Freefalling up, freefalling up

The road will lead me where the alabastеr clings
Where the yеllowed plaster sings all night long
I can’t wait! Unparalleled, unstoppable, unique
The world’s about to get a note from me:

Catch these hands, for anyone who’s fucking with my plans
These hands, for anyone who’d tell me this or that
These hands, if the whole world thinks that it’s too good for me
Catch these hands, if you’d like to come and see

Catch these hands, if anyone would like to come and play
The fire finds a way, I’m something dangerous today
I’m something fabulous and strange, I’m something harrowing and grave
So take a good look if you may

There comes a day when I’ve spent enough time tilling the earth
The soil is soft enough, no digging for these flowers to unfurl
Take the worst things out, I can’t be bereft ‘a good stuff
Freefalling up, freefalling up
There comes a day when I’ve spent enough time waiting for my turn
The doors are open now, there’s no bridges left to burn
Take the best in life, there must be something for me
Freefalling up, freefalling up

The road will lead me where the alabaster clings
Where the yellowed plaster sings all night long
I can’t wait! Unparalleled, unstoppable, unique
The world’s about to get a note from me:

Catch these hands, for anyone who’s fucking with my plans
These hands, for anyone who’d tell me this or that
These hands, if the whole world thinks that it’s too good for me
Catch these hands, if you’d like to come and see

Catch these hands, if anyone would like to come and play
The fire finds a way, I’m something dangerous today
I’m something fabulous and strange, I’m something harrowing and grave
So take a good look if you may

Let the right one in, don’t think about it
Don’t let them out of your sight, it’s up to you now
Let the right one in, don’t think about it
You have nothing else to lose, why can’t you see that?

The day is almost done
I’m restless as the sun
Yet lost without someone to care for me
It’s hard to reconcile this need
With what I thought myself to be
But maybe I can learn to love being needy

Catch these hands, if anyone would like to get to know me
These hands, for anyone with the wherewithal to hold me
These hands, ‘cause I don’t think I can make it on my own
Catch these hands, you’d like to take me home

When the world grows dark, will you be there
Riding into the night? Take me anywhere
I’m aching for someone sweet, someone dangerous
If anyone would like to catch me
