I can't let you go
Don't let the dark
Be the only place you see me
I'll try to find you something new
That pulls me back to your arms

Little towns are the way we're living
Little white crosses on dangerous curves
Everyone's just dying to get out
They got skills but forgot the nerve

Turns me on when you turn me down
Everything inside me turned around
You've been tried and you've been true
And I know that pulled me through

I don't mind you don't know where you're going
I want to go with you
All the things you thought you handed down
They don't shine like they shine for you

I remember your phoenix shut it's eyes
And scratched it into my shoulder
Like everything I wish would die
Repeats itself over and over

Have I tried?
Am I true?
Did the things I said I'd never do
All that faith and luck and trust
If it's not real it turns to rust
It turns me on when you say your mine
All the things I thought I'd never find
Your attention has it's price
But it's never bark no bite

I can't stand the way you tell it

Turns me on when you turn me down
Everything inside me turns around
Give me faith and love and trust
Or just crush me into dust
I'm not afraid to pay your price
Because you're never bark no bite
