Cold War Kids

Can We Hang On?

I come here nine times asking you to not make it ten

I'm peeling off all the honor and protecting my skin

Apologize, I'm laying down my ego to rest

Would you be mine forever? Just in case it exists

I think about the old days

What we didn't do to survive

Do we get better with time?

Tell me I'm wrong

Looking back to the start who we were when we met

This box of pictures tells a story when we fight, we forget

And I can barely recognize those back that we were obsessed

Can't cut out this madness and get back to the best

Think about the old days

What we didn't do to survive

Do we get better with time?

Tell me I'm wrong

I'm looking to your old ways

We follow the same dotted line

Passing like ships in the night

Can we hang on?

This could've gone either way if one of us had walked

If I'd gone off, and you'd caved in

And we broke it off, I'd be lost

I'd be chasing some broke down dream

I'd be bored to death

But we cannot stay forever young and out of our heads

Out of our heads

I think about tomorrow

If I can get through tonight

I know that we'll be alright

Can we be strong?

I'm looking to your old ways

Even though we like ships in the night

Don't you go passing me by

Can we hang on?

You can't find it

If you're dying to live

If you want to know the secret, hang on

You can't find it

If you're dying to live

If you want to know the secret, hang on

You can't find it

If you're dying to live

If you want to know the secret, hang on
