I am only a child Living in the darkness With my heart skipping beats Staring at the matches Now I wait for the wind To tell me we are all crazy Now I sing for the stars I'm here but my voice is shaky I used to wait for the world to change I suppose there's still time left in the day Can I hold your heart in mine Can I hold your heart in mine Can I hold your heart in mine Can I hold your heart I did keep it all inside It ricocheted it's ceaseless Though my organs are tough I dial my machinist And he arrives with the part I've never even heard of He says it's new fancy tech And starts to make the first cut And who am I if not dying all the time And who are you if not diamonds on the vine Could you hold my heart this time Will you hold my heart this time Will you hold my heart this time Will you hold my heart As I'm watching the dirt Pile on the gravestone I have only one thought What I could have done better So when you reach the gold mine Could you pull out a pen and paper Write me a letter And burn it in the wind Now I can hear your heart in mine I can hear your heart in mine I can hear your heart in mine I can hear your heart Now I can hear your heart in mine I can hear your heart in mine I can hear your heart in mine I can hear your heart Now I can hear your heart in mine I can hear your heart in mine I can hear your heart in mine I can hear your heart I am only a man Living in the darkness With my heart skipping beats
