Was never in it for the long run

I wasn’t always up to fight

But there was something in the water

That made me curious that night

 

I wasn’t made for steady breathing

I burned too fast, I lived too wild

But there you stood like morning weather

And you only made me smile

 

And you never tried to change my heart

Didn’t run when I was down

You were there for me when things got dark

Baby now, I am certain

 

Though I know that you know

It can all fade and go

what we have is worth the aching

I can feel it in my bones

 

All we made, all we chose

What we have only grows

Though it ain’t for easy taking

We hold on and never go (ohoh)

We hold on and never go (ohoh)

 

I never knew the weight of holding

Until your hands were wrapped in mine

You didn’t flinch when I was breaking

You just waited out the time

 

I never thought that I could trust it

I always felt the urge to run

But you kept walking through the darkness

Till the night gave in to sun

 

And you never tried to change my heart

Didn’t run when I was down

You were there for me when things got dark

Baby now, I am certain

 

Though I know that you know

It can all fade and go

what we have is worth the aching

I can feel it in my bones

 

All we made, all we chose

What we have only grows

Though it ain’t for easy taking

We hold on and never go (ohoh)

We hold on and never go (ohoh)
