Lyrics

Sat outside the darkened house, reading one of your old letters
I'd carried it from town to town
Sometimes hoped for you things got better
It says "We got a place by the river now,
the rooms are full of light—it's still our town
If there's such a thing as a second chance I want it now"
That's what it says
Things you'll keep
Some things you were never meant to lose
The things you keep
Some things the world cannot refuse
The things you keep
Thought there was a way out,
so you took it on your hands and knees
What if your best days are done? How do you plead?
Day to day is a hurting thing
You're tired of all beauty and you
Said goodbye to your baby face
and just about everything
Things you'll keep
Some things you were never meant to lose
The things you keep
Some things the world cannot refuse
The things you keep
Everybody was skinny then
Nobody said you wouldn't win
You said goodbye to your baby face
then just about everything
Things you'll keep
Some things you were never meant to lose
The things you keep
Some things the world cannot refuse
Things you'll keep
Everybody was skinny then
Everybody was skinny then
Nobody said you wouldn't win
You said goodbye to your baby face
then just about everything
How do you plead?
How do you plead?
How do you plead?
How do you plead?
How do you plead?
