Take My Hand (Joshua Tree Version)

A painted heart on a sidewalk A bleeding sun on a silver screen I feel my ego when I talk Lost myself in the in-between Lustful eyes filled with love now Sending in every cavalry A few more souls on the bus now Shut my eyes right at seventeen Always hits me I'm always shifting Take my hand, now and forever Where I stand, how can you live and let die? Young man, look in the mirror Take my hand and don't you ever let go (take my hand, now and forever) (Take my hand, now and forever) Don't you ever let go (take my hand, now and forever) (Take my hand, now and forever) Told myself maybe someday I'd fall down from the centerpiece I treat my mind like an ashtray I owe you an apology Breaking plans on a Sunday With myself, maybe make some peace I forgot every birthday Open eyes right at twenty-three Always hits me, yeah I'm always shifting Take my hand, now and forever Where I stand, how can you live and let die? Young man, look in the mirror Take my hand, and don't you ever let go (take my hand, now and forever) (Take my hand, now and forever) Don't you ever let go (take my hand, now and forever) (Take my hand, now and forever) Pick apart all of the pieces While I'm running out of time Iron out all of the creases And just hang it out to dry Shallow hearts for shallow minds That ache to be alive You fall apart and redefine What keeps you up at night Oh, take my hand, now and forever Where I stand, just as you're losing yourself again Look in the mirror Take my hand, now and forever Where I stand, how can you live and let die? Young man, look in the mirror Take my hand, and don't you ever let go (take my hand, now and forever) (Take my hand, now and forever) Don't you ever let go (take my hand, now and forever) (Take my hand, now and forever) (Take my hand, now and forever) (Take my hand, now and forever) How can you live and let die? Young man, look in the mirror Take my hand, and don't you ever let go (Take my hand, now and forever) (Take my hand, now and forever) (Take my hand, now and forever) (Take my hand, now and forever) A painted heart on a sidewalk A bleeding sun on a silver screen I feel my ego when I talk Lost myself in the in-between Lustful eyes filled with love now Sending in every cavalry A few more souls on the bus now
