strings that tug hard

the tears of joy for all the pleasure in the certainty
that we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of
the highest powers
in lonely hours
the tears devour you

I tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I've prayed for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be, incomplete

In the morning I’ll be with you
But it will be a different kind
I’ll be holding all the tickets
And you’ll be owning all the fines

And I'm running to you baby
You are the only one who saves me
That's why I've been missing you lately
Cause you make it real for me
