Childproof to the letter You know the truth, you know better The girl on the pavement, she's spinning Don't be long, come and get her I need a drink, so just forget her Time just slips through my fingers Hold on to life Hold on despite this I've seen your eyes shine Just get through the night this time Just get through the night this time Resolve is weak, I abuse it You turn your cheek, then I'll lose it Life just slips through my fingers I blame him and I hurt him Turn the screw, rub the dirt in There's dirt under my fingers Hold on to life Hold on despite this I've seen your eyes shine Just get through the night this time Just get through the night this time I wanted it and I can't get It was Heaven sent, so I spent it The sky just slipped through my fingers One more round for the lady So I hit the ground, whisper "maybe" I will get on my feet again Not open to your suggestions And I'll change the locks, won't answer questions I will get on my feet again Hold on to life Hold on despite this I've seen your eyes shine Just get through the night this time Just get through the night this time Just get through the night this time
