Handwritten Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pull it out, turn it up, what's your favorite song?
That's mine, I've been crying to it since I was young
I know there's someone out there feeling just like I feel
I know they're waiting up, I know they're waiting to hear
And I've been holding my breath, are you holding your breath?
For too many years to count, too many years to count
[Chorus]
And we waited for the sirens that never come
And we only write by the moon, every word handwritten
And to ease the loss of youth and how many years I've missed you
Pages bleed forgiveness, every word handwritten
[Verse 2]
Let it out, let me in, take a hold of my hand
There's nothing like another soul that's been cut up the same
And did you want to drive without a word in-between?
I can understand you need a minute to breathe
And to sew up the seams after all this defeat
And all this defeat
[Chorus]
And we waited for the sirens that never come
And we only write by the moon, every word handwritten
And to ease the loss of youth and the many, many years I've missed you
Pages bleed forgiveness, every word handwritten
Pull it out, turn it up, what's your favorite song?
That's mine, I've been crying to it since I was young
I know there's someone out there feeling just like I feel
I know they're waiting up, I know they're waiting to hear
And I've been holding my breath, are you holding your breath?
For too many years to count, too many years to count
[Chorus]
And we waited for the sirens that never come
And we only write by the moon, every word handwritten
And to ease the loss of youth and how many years I've missed you
Pages bleed forgiveness, every word handwritten
[Verse 2]
Let it out, let me in, take a hold of my hand
There's nothing like another soul that's been cut up the same
And did you want to drive without a word in-between?
I can understand you need a minute to breathe
And to sew up the seams after all this defeat
And all this defeat
[Chorus]
And we waited for the sirens that never come
And we only write by the moon, every word handwritten
And to ease the loss of youth and the many, many years I've missed you
Pages bleed forgiveness, every word handwritten
[Bridge]
Here in the dark, I cherish the moonlight
I'm in love with the way you're in love with the night
And it travels from heart to limb to pen
[Chorus]
And we waited for the sirens that never come
We only write by the moon, every word handwritten
Every word handwritten, every word handwritten
[Outro]
And with this pen, I thee wed
From my heart to your distress
Every word handwritten
And with this pen, I thee wed
From my heart to your distress
Every word handwritten
Here in the dark, I cherish the moonlight
I'm in love with the way you're in love with the night
And it travels from heart to limb to pen
[Chorus]
And we waited for the sirens that never come
We only write by the moon, every word handwritten
Every word handwritten, every word handwritten
[Outro]
And with this pen, I thee wed
From my heart to your distress
Every word handwritten
And with this pen, I thee wed
From my heart to your distress
Every word handwritten
