Guernica

Intro Verse: 1 Ever since I was young your word is the word that always won Worry and wake the ones you love A phone call I'd rather not receive Please use my body while I sleep My lungs are fresh and yours to keep Kept clean and they will let you breathe Pre-Chorus: 1 Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry? I am the watch you always wear, but you forget to wind Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these So I sat alone and waited out the night The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around I'm not writing my goodbyes Verse: 2 I submit no excuse If this is what I have to do I owe you every day I wake If I could I would shrink myself And sink through your skin to your blood cells And remove whatever makes you hurt but I am too weak to be your cure Pre-Chorus: 1 Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry? I am the watch you always wear, but you forget to wind Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these So I sat alone and waited out the night The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around I'm not writing my goodbyes Bridge I'm not letting you check out You will beat this, starting now And you will always be around I'm there to monitor your breathing I will watch you while you're sleeping I will keep you safe and sound Pre-Chorus: 2 Does anybody remember back when you were very young? Did you ever think that you would be this blessed? Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these So I sat alone and waited out the night The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around I'm not writing my goodbyes
