Holding Tight Lightly

There, but it's subtle

Like the electricity

In the walls

Is a feeling in me

So I hold on to the kettle

To the cigarette in my hand

Knowing that the course of

Time will bend

Time will bend

As if it could decelerate the day

Or decelerate me

Please, if anyones in control up there

Let it last a little longer

Teach me from your good heart

I teach you and you teach me the art

Of holding tight lightly

Or did I cradle you selfishly

When you didnt need a cave

But the open sea

So I try to be space

I try to be space

Teach me from your good heart

I teach you and you teach me the art

Teach me from your good heart

I teach you and you teach me the art

Of holding tight lightly

And I walk myself home at night

Nothing to worry about, it feels so right

To allow my inglorious notions

You to have complex emotions

That are your own

Yours alone

Teach me from your good heart

I teach you and you teach me the art

Teach me from your good heart

I teach you and you teach me the art

Of holding tight lightly

Holding tight lightly
