lyrics

You could only take some kind of elixir
The life that would have given you immortality
Yet somethings not quite right here when it doesn't spin
Somethings not quite right here
When everythings impossibilities
Coming down the waves like the devil
Coming down the waves like the devil
You see my eyes
And you can see all the cries
As God cries
Yeah I saw God cry

You could only take
Some kind of innocence
You could only take
Another kind of love
You could only take
A newborn baby's hands
You could only take it now
Only take it now

You could only take some broken carousel
The one that would have given you the perfect childhood
Yet somethings not quite right here when it doesn't spin
Somethings not quite right here
When everyone refuses to believe
Branches of a willow coming down
Branches of a willow coming down
You see my eyes
And you can see all the cries
As God cries
Yeah I saw God cry

You could only take
Some kind of innocence
You could only take
Another kind of love
You could only take
A newborn baby's hands
You could only take it now
Only take it now

And you hum along
To the words of a song
That you don't even know
When you feel so low
But then you find her in your arms
And you feel so calm
And you hold her tight
And everything feels so right
The dark ridden days
Have all begun to fade
You know you love her so
And you'll never let her go
You'll never let her go
