Hang On

I don't understand your green eyes
They sure looked blue to me
You could stay, we could watch the sea rise
Find shade in some raging heat
I know that my face is ugly
I've known since I was 17
That there ain't no god above me
Looking out for a boy whose life is so wrong
So wrong
So wrong
I don't know
You just do what you can

To hang on
Hang on
You just do what you can to delude yourself
And stay strong (To delude yourself and stay strong)
You hang on
You find someone to hang onto
And if it ain't tied down you just take what you can
And move on (Take what you can and move on)

Please don't explain your tattoos
The snake with the inverted cross
'Cause when you laid down beside me
They were neither down nor up
I saw how her lips were shining
Leaving stains upon a silver cup
Dear lord could you please remind me
Why it is you would let me sleep for so long
So long
So long
I don't know
You just do what you can

To hang on
Hang on
You just do what you can to delude yourself
And stay strong (To delude yourself and stay strong)
You hang on
You find someone to hang onto
And if it ain't tied down you just take what you can
And stay gone (Take what you can and stay gone)

You hang on (Hang on, hang on)
You hang on (Hang on, hang on)
Hang on (Hang on, hang on)
Hang on (Hang on, hang on)
