Your Heart Is a Muscle the Size of Your Fist - Live

Dalia never showed me nothing but kindness
 She would say, "I know how sad you get
 And some days I still get that way, but it gets better
 It gets better, it gets better
 Sweetie, it gets better, I promise you"
 And she'd tell me, she'd tell me
 "Your heart is a muscle the size of your fist
 Keep on loving, keep on fighting
 And hold on, and hold on
 Hold on for your life"
 Ian built a cabin in the woods to live in
 For years, terrifying noises kept him up at night
 With a twelve gauge under his pillow
 He's living in Boston now, going to art school
 I forgive him, I forgive him
 Hell, I'll admit it, I'm proud of him
 Serena's an architect and a carpenter
 She's such a feminist, she says she isn't one
 Because goddamn, my gender shouldn't matter
 And her motorcycle glides through the streets of Providence
 Down to the warehouse district
 The paint job is as stunning as
 Her knowledge of medieval building techniques
 Your heart is a muscle the size of your fist
 Keep on loving, keep on fighting
 And hold on, and hold on
 Hold on for your life
 This one goes out to Georgios, he knows how to dance
 Abby Banks, your book is beautiful, and fuck anyone who says otherwise
 Scott, I love you and you make me glad to be alive
 I promise that I'm gonna pay you back
 You always know how funny everything is
 Even when I'm so serious that it's gonna be the death of me
 Like the time that our friend Chuck came over to our house
 He said he needed somebody to take care of his pets
 Because he was going out of town
 I asked him, "Where?" and he said, "New Mexico"
 I asked if I could get a ride
 He said, "No, you don't want to follow me
 Where it is that I'm going"
 He backed out of the drive way
 It was the last time we saw him
 'Cause he drove straight to his parent's cabin
 And put a bullet in his head
 Your heart is a muscle the size of your fist
 Keep on loving, keep on fighting
 And hold on, and hold on
 Hold on for your life
 Your heart is a muscle the size of your fist
 Keep on loving, keep on fighting
 And hold on, and hold on
 Hold on for your life
