Bare Hands

Cut me loose in mid-September
 I was out of my element
 Started building up these walls
 Keeping everybody outside of them
 Bare hands holding on to the wire
 ♪
 Weeks pass, the earth is turning
 Things start swimming into focus
 And now I'm rolling your words through my cheeks
 Like a mouth full of poison
 I watch it all go up in a fire
 (Ah) you were feeling lonely, and you called me
 Hoping I'd be home
 (Ah) you're like a bad trip or a sick habit
 I shoulda left it alone
 You were feeling lonely, takin' advantage
 Knowing I wouldn't say no
 (Ah) you're just a bad trip, I can't help it
 Oh oh oh oh
 ♪
 Wake up alone, now it's December
 There's snow out in the yard
 A cold wind cutting through my jacket
 As I drift up the boulevard
 That sinking feeling creeping in again
 No matter what I try
 And I'm just waiting for a signal
 I'm just staring down at my
 Bare hands holding on to the wire
 Good Lord
 I'm worn out, and I'm always tired
 Bare hands holding on to the wire
 And I'm always tired
 (Ah) you were feeling lonely, and you called me
 Hoping I'd be home
 (Ah) you're like a bad trip or a sick habit
 I shoulda left it alone
 You were feeling lonely, takin' advantage
 Knowing I wouldn't say no
 (Ah) you're just a bad trip, I can't help it
 (Ah) you were feeling lonely
 (Ah) and you called me (ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
 Takin' advantage
 (Ah) you're just a bad trip, I can't help it
 Oh oh oh oh

 Bare hands holding on to the wire
 Bare hands holding on to the wire
 Ah, ah
 Ah, ah
