Hold You

(album: The Apple Tree - 2012)

You're far away tonight,
I haven't seen you in a while.
It always feels like a climb,
On this never-ending hill.

And I keep saying wait just one more day,
But days slowly drift away.
And I can hold to the memories,
But they won't hold me in the same way, as you...

And this distance between us has come and cut as clean as, a sharp blade.
And this distance between us has made my heart as weak as, silk that's frayed.
And I just wanna hold ya, hold ya, hold ya now
You're the one that keeps me, keeps me, on the ground
I just wanna hold ya, hold ya, hold ya now
Can we turn this knife the blunt way around?

I feel empty, my eyes are closed
It's getting dark and I'm alone.
Now I sleep next to the window,
In case you decide to come home.

And I keep saying wait just one more day,
But days slowly drift away.
The memories I have begin to fade,
Cause you're so far away...

And this distance between us has come and cut as clean as, a sharp blade.
And this distance between us has made my heart as weak as, silk that's frayed.
And I just wanna hold ya, hold ya, hold ya now
You're the one that keeps me, keeps me, on the ground
And I just wanna hold ya, hold ya, hold ya now
Can we turn this knife the blunt way around?

And I can only stay, one more day
It's like waiting on the rain, in a warm summer haze...

And this distance between us has come and cut as clean as, a sharp blade.
And this distance between us has made my heart as weak as, silk that's frayed.
And I just wanna hold ya, hold ya, hold ya now
You're the one that keeps me, keeps me, on the ground
I just wanna hold ya, hold ya, hold ya now
Can we turn this knife the blunt way around... now
