Winter Coat

There's a lot of fear in this old heart of mine
 Of a friend, of a lover, of a sign
 And she pains me when I step out of line
 I won't entertain these thoughts by day
 So at night they sneak outside and start to play
 Come morning, I try to put them all away
 I can't live between fear and hope. Oh this world won't be controlled
 It's time I shed my winter coat, peel off my gloves, clear my throat
 Say, give me what you owe me before I go
 There's a hole in me that nothing can kill
 Not religion, not the bottle, not a pill
 But it's mine to dry or drown as I will
 I'm afraid of what you'll see inside my head
 All the wretched ghosts I raised up from the dead
 So I show you what I think you want instead
 I can't live between fear and hope. Oh this world won't be controlled
 It's time I shed my winter coat, peel off my gloves, clear my throat
 Say, give me what you owe me before I go
 I can't live between fear and hope
 I can't live between fear and hope
 Say, give me what you owe me
