BREATH=HELD - These sensations are everything you’ve waited for. And you’ve got time to make some observations now that I’m back from my mental vacation. And all along I’ve been wrong, and I’ve been a real fucking asshole. And I’ve been staying up all night, and I’ve been playing in 4/4 time. And all along I’ve been wrong: they’re my songs but they don’t belong to anyone. And these conversations are everything you’ve waited for. And you’ve got time to take your crying eyes off the ceiling. I’ve said it once but I don’t mind repeating it. These simple words and this simple melody- you know, it’s all I ever needed. And I’ll be staying up all night, and I’ll be playing in 4/4 time. And all along I’ve been wrong: I can’t stop any more than you can come along. And the beat goes on. The defeat goes on. I’m not gonna give it up, not when I’m falling down. Not gonna give it up, not when the fear is calling.
