Birds On The Wire

Hold me now, I am breaking
 Eyes are raw, and bones are aching
 Unclench my fists for the last time today
 And wish our 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
 And we'll hold our hope
 Keep your back from the rope
 And we'll save our sorrow 'til we know, 'til we know
 They're going to send us home
 Just like birds on the wire
 Strung out but never tired
 As the flames grow higher
 we'll soar up from the fire and start again
 And we'll hold our hope
 Keep your back from the rope
 And we'll save our sorrow 'til we know, 'til we know
 They're going to send us home
 And we'll hold our hope
 Keep your back from the rope
 And we'll save our sorrow 'til we know, 'til we know
 They're going to 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'll take it all, just to prove wrong from right
 Just to prove wrong from right
 Hold me now, I am breaking
 Eyes are raw, and bones are aching
 When the night feels like it's closing in
 You hold a light up and we'll start again
