Hold You Upright by The Western Den Lyrics

I saw a birds first flight down
Landed in a puddle and nearly drowned
I couldn't help myself swept right in
Interfering so it could begin

I felt a loss in the rivers stream
Stagnant and sullen the wind bore the key
On every stone I wished to feel it rushing on my feet
But who am I to think she'd ever grant me?

Oh I'm always trying to make everything all alright
But talking for hours about the sun
Could never light up the darkest night

I knew a man he was hurting beneath
A pale vestige of vigor turned to apathy
And if he pushes me away, then I'll pulling him in so deep
But I don't know if he'd recognize me

Oh I'm always trying to make everything all alright
But talking for hours about the sun
Could never light up the darkest night
Are you running on empty?
Are you living on fumes?
Has your lover gone drifting?
Are you mourning the news?

And you're blooming up angry
And you're hanging me to dry
But as long as I'm breathing
I'll hold you upright

Are you running on empty?
Are you living on fumes?
Has your lover gone drifting?
Are you mourning the news?

And you're blooming up angry
And you're hanging me to dry
But as long as I'm breathing
I'll hold you upright

Are you running on empty?
Are you living on fumes?
Has your lover gone drifting?
Are you mourning the news?

And you're blooming up angry
And you're hanging me to dry
But as long as I'm breathing
I'll hold you upright
Oh I'll hold you upright

So write me a letter, tie me in
Speak of my overbearing once thick-wearing skin
With vulture eyes, preying over danger before it takes wind
I'll never know the way the gun is pointing

Oh I'm always trying to make everything all alright
But talking for hours about the sun
Could never light up the darkest night
Could never light up the darkest night

Would you light up?
