Lyrics

Lend an ear I'll tell you a story
About a man who didn't know how to be
Joined a traveling circus from P.I. to B.C
I was playing dead every morning
I was taking dives every night
But someone came and swept me off my feet in mid-flight
Now without her love I really got nothing
Without her love I'd hang up my shoes
It'd be a world of suffering
If this one I was ever to lose
So I'm hanging on with all of my power
I'm hanging on as tight as a noose
Around the midnight hour
She said remember that I'm easily bruised
I had everything that I wanted
Had so much I threw it away
But she could see that what I needed was never there anyway
Now everything around me is shifting
I'm running like a child through a maze
But I'm never lost completely 'cause an angel keeps me safe
But without her love I'm dead in the water
Without her love my aim is untrue
My blood gets hotter and hotter
At the thought of leaving this angel
Hanging on with all of my power
It's looking like our bodies may fuse
And when her cries got louder
She said remember that I'm easily bruised
And I can't let go
And if I love too hard I'll hurt my baby so
Now everything makes sense in the moment
And a moment's independent of time
But who decides where truth resides
Your guess is as good as mine
So have another sip of the good stuff
Have another round on me
If this moment lasts forever
Then the truth we might just see
But without her love I don't have an inkling
I'd be howling every night at the moon
And if the stars stop twinkling
The end will surely be coming soon
So I'm hanging on with all of my power
In a garden where we're all free to choose
Any fruit or flower
She said remember that I'm easily bruised
Remember that I'm easily bruised
Remember that I'm easily bruised
