I guess I could've sent a letter from the road
With words that always meant more then updates on the phone.
The signal's fading fast 
And the ink [bad word] out;
The words look good in pen 
but sound better from my mouth.

Please hold me tightly, 
I don't care if I can't breathe tonight.
Forget these lungs, their jealousy;
I'm burning out but I can't leave this all behind (leave this all behind)
Forget these lungs, their jealousy,
I'm burning out but I can't leave-this-all-behind

Behind your back 
Talking like knives,
And I can hardly breathe.
Sharpen your tongue the rest of your life,
And I can not believe 
Anything that you say.

Please hold me tightly, 
I don't care if I can't breathe tonight.
Forget these lungs, their jealousy
I'm burning out but I can't leave this all behind (leave this all behind)
Forget these lungs, their jealousy
You're burning up but I can't leave this all behind

So you're the fire and I am the water.
I am the pallette and you are the color.
I won't forget you when
we're not together.
This is the ending, 
Here's my surrender.
