Raise a glass
Call me home
I'll be alright, I'll be alright
I'll be the only one
Ready for the fall
Covering the head of curls
Ready for the fall
To wear you like a string of pearls
Calloused hands
Can raise me up
But just for a while, just for a while
Until I'm the only one
Left holding up the wall
Covering this head of curls
Holding up the wall
To wear you like a string of pearls
Raised to stand
On broken bones
But just for a while, just for a while
'Til I'm the only one
Left creeping down the hall
Covering this head of curls
Sneaking down the hall
To wear you like a string of pearls
Left here alone
Away from the whole wide world
And we shuffled along
Along with the plans we had
To never grow tired
Keep singing the same sad song
About leaving along
Along with the plans we had
To never grow tired...
