| Hold me now, I am breaking |
| Eyes are raw and bones are aching |
| Un-clench my fists for the last time today |
| And wish your face would fade away |
| All of the hours |
| All of the sleepless nights |
| All of the worry trapped under blinding lights |
| All of the faces blank as the room is bright |
| We take it all just to prove wrong from right |
| Just to prove wrong from right |
| Just like birds on the wire |
| Strung out but never tired |
| When the flames grow higher |
| We’ll soar up from the fire |
| And start again |
| All of the hours |
| All of the sleepless nights |
| All of the worry trapped under blinding lights |
| All of the faces blank as the room is bright |
| We’ll take it all just to prove wrong from right |
| I will hold on hope |
| Keep your mind from the road |
| And we’ll save our sorrow 'till we know |
| 'Till we know |
| They’re gonna send us home |
| Just like birds on the wire |
| Strung out but never tired |
| When the flames grow higher |
| We’ll soar up from the fire |
| And start again |
| (I will hold on hope) |
| (Keep your mind from the road) |
| (I will save our sorrow 'till we know) |
| ('Till we know) |
| (They're gonna send us home) |
| I will hold on hope |
| Keep your mind from the road |
| I will save our sorrow 'till we know |
| 'Till we know |
| They’re gonna send us home |
| Just like birds on the wire |
| All of the hours |
| All of the sleepless nights |
| All of the worry trapped under blinding lights |
| All of the faces blank as the room is bright |
| We take it all just to prove wrong from right |
| Just to prove wrong from right |
| Holding me now, I am breaking |
| Eyes are raw and bones are aching |
| When the night feels like it’s closing in |
| You’ll hold the light up and we’ll start again |
