Oh, my daddy said shoot And men like me come around He said take care of your mother Watch out for your sister With his gun, with his head held high He told me not to cry With his right hand on his rifle He swore it on the bible My daddy said shoot

Oh oh woah oh Yeah, we owned the night Tell me have you ever wanted Someone so much it hurts? Your lips keep trying to speak But you just can't find the words Well I had this dream once I held it in my hands She was the purest beauty

Now or never I'm not coming back, it's now or never Tell me why did you leave so fast? Duh, duh, duh, duh, never Tell me why did you leave so fast? (Fast) What are you afraid of anyway? (Anyway) It's now or never Would you mind if I held your hand

You make me feel brand new I'll never find the words, my love To tell you how I feel, my love Mere words could not explain Precious love You held my life within your hands Created everything I am Taught me how to live again

You have all you need When you're held by me Don't pine for what's not And whatever will be You search all your life Stealing all you find And you stare at your own hands Not the hands they entwine

Hands held higher We'll be on fire Does it bother anyone else Down in the forest We'll sing a chorus Singing songs that nobody wrote That someone else has your name? One that everybody knows I scream, you scream, we all scream

I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered Well I, own this field And I wrote this sky And I have no reason, to reason with you But I'd understand that I'd never let it go But I'd understand that the world does what it does And you never

The way you almost held my hand, dear The time you kissed my cheek The words that never left your lips, love But I heard week after week The waltzes that we left untaken The glances drove us mad The life we didn't live together And the love that we
