[Verse 1]

Twist and turn

Loosen the straps

And we'll drop these bags to the floor

You tied my shoes

Threw them into the tree

As you licked your teeth and smiled

There's nothin' to fight

And my heart is a kite

So pull the hands off the clock


[Pre-Chorus]

So please won't you hold me, if only for right now

Even if tommorrow, you're gonna walk out

Without you I'm homeless, a puppet without string

Without you this song doesn't mean a thing


[Chorus]

I can't just give up now that I tasted it

There's somethin' in the choir that's antiseptic

I can't just give up now that I tasted it

You're my red sky

You're my red sky


[Verse 2]

Cameras for eyes

And the details they find

As the sun gives up on light

Nothin' but skies

Our fingers entwined

There's no past or plans to make


[Pre-Chorus]

So please won't you hold me, if only for right now

Even if tommorrow, you're gonna walk out

Without you I'm homeless, a puppet without string

Without you this song doesn't mean a thing


[Chorus]

I can't just give up now that I tasted it

There's somethin' in the choir that's antiseptic

I can't just give up now that I tasted it

You're my red sky

You're my red sky


[Chorus]

I can't just give up now that I tasted it

There's somethin' in the choir that's antiseptic

I can't just give up now that I tasted it

You're my red sky

You're my red sky


[Outro]

Still there's nothin' to fight

And my heart is a kite

So pull the hands off the clock
