I hope you find a way to bring it back Run and run, fireflies, a sneak attack Forgetting that you really must get home You leave your shoes and laugh inside the pain Now torture is a reasonable refrain I hold my little baby Magazines they're killing people just for fun What that means, even I'm still thinking of Torture is a reasonable refrain And numbers they keep coming up the same I can't keep all the reasons in my brain I hold my little baby Can't believe we made it so far on this run Please forgive me even if it's only just this once All my little speeches all the smack The point of it is slipping through the cracks Something makes me want to take it back And hold my little baby All I know is that you waited there for me Held your own like you had chosen not to leave I wonder at the pressures in your mind You let them work the coal behind your eyes A precious thing is neither yours nor mine I hold my little baby
