Canvas

Slow heart, dark wait
Down love, black canvas
Revolve within you understand
Fragile, earth where
Cracks in the temperature
Keep it cool
To give, you understand
Keep it cool
To give, you understand
Slow heart, dark wait
Down love, black canvas
Revolve within you understand
Fragile, earth where
Cracks in the temperature
Keep it cool,
To give, you understand
'Cuz I just can't find the strength to pull you up
And keep you taut
No I just can't find the strength to hold you up
And keep you taut
Hijacked, lost track
Light fades another day left
Long shadows lure you in
The more you lose the less you see
So close your eyes and start to breathe
Oh you said yourself, this wasn't easy
Oh you said yourself, this wasn't easy
Oh I just can't find the strength to pull you up
And keep you taut
No I, just can't find the strength to hold you up
And keep you taut
Woah woah woah woah woah
Woah woah woah woah woah
Woah waoh woah woah woah woah
Da da da
Woah woah woah woah woah
Woah woah woah woah woah
Woah woah woah waoh waoh woah
Dada da da
'Cuz I just can't find the strength
To keep you taut
