You hold my hand through turbulence
You sugarcoat the oxygen
My lungs are full, I'm sick again
I feel you coming on
You never simply talk to me
You tell the truth about everything
Of all of your afflictions
That is my favorite one

Oh, well, it's turning out I'm better when
Oh, when you stop and stick around
I'll go anywhere you want, but then again
I like this house

You used to be a mystery
A bruise you left, an injury
I thought you lived for suffering
But thank God I was wrong
Your family feels like family
You see what I can't seem to see
I don't know where to put it all
I'll put you in a song and

Oh, I was burning out, but then you said
Oh, you should leave the light on
And I'll go if you ask me to, but then again
Don't drop me off
Oh, well, it can't be a coincidence
Oh, that I falter when you're gone
And I cope, but I promise you it's different
You're strong, I'm not
You're strong, I'm not

It's the shape of your hands
Made me brave once again
You became where I land
Now you hold all of it

You hold my hand through turbulence
You sugarcoat the oxygen
My lungs are full, I'm sick again
I feel you coming on
Of all of your afflictions
That is my favorite one and

Oh, well, it's turning out I'm better when
Oh, when you stop and stick around
I'll go anywhere you want, but then again
Well, I like this house
And oh, I was burning out, but then you said
Oh, you should leave the light on
I'll go if you asked me to, but then again
Don't drop me off

Mm, don't drop me off, mm
