September came
My ribcage bent
They saw me there
Bruised and beaten from my wars
My eyes were swollen from the fall
But there I learned that you can't ever win them all

Looking for arms to hold this weight
I found my way with burned hands
I tried too much and far too much
At least in my mind but I've still got no clue
Tell me what do I do
All I know is for some reason, darling it hurts with out you

Down down baby
Waiting on the other side
Hesitating never meant to pick a fight
Down down baby
Crossing these arms again
Always waiting laughing
And I'm wondering when
Down down baby
If I ran the other way, why you staying?
You've got the devil on your side

Baby don't you know you're crazy?
You said stay for a day, love
Well please just talk to me

Looking for arms to give me faith
Bad dates, sit on these hurt hands
I've tried so much, denied so much
Wasting all my lives and I've still got no clue
Tell me what do I do
All I know is for some reason darling it burns without you

Down down baby
Waiting on the other side
Hesitating, never meant to pick a fight
Down down baby
Crossing these arms again
Always waiting laughing
And I'm wondering when
Down down baby
If I ran the other way, why you staying?
You've got the devil on your side

December came
My ribcage bent
I saw him there
Bruised and beaten from his wars
His eyes were swollen from the fall
And there I learned that we were sane, now, after all
