I don't understand your green eyes
They sure looked blue to me
You could stay and we could watch the sea rise
Find shade in some raging heat
I know that my face is ugly
I know it since I was seventeen
That there ain't no god above me
Looking out for a boy

Who's life's so wrong
So wrong
So wrong

I don't know, you just do what you can
To hang on
Hang on
You just do what what you
to delude yourself and stay strong
(To delude yourself and stay strong)
But hang on
You found someone to hang on
And if it ain't goddamn you
just do what you can and move (Do what you can and move on)

Please don't explain your tattoos
The snake with the inverted cross
'Cause when you lay it down beside me
They were neither down or up
I saw how your lips were shining
Living stains upon a silver cup
Dear lord could you please remind me
Why it is you would let me sleep

For so long
So long
So long

I don't know, you just do what you can
To hang on
Hang on
You just do what what you can to delude
yourself and stay strong
(To delude yourself and stay strong)
You hang on
You found someone to hang on
And if it ain't goddamn you just predict
what you can and stay gone (Do what you can and move on)

But hang on (Hang on)
Hang on
You hang on
Hang on
Hang on
Hang on (Hang on)
Hang on (Hang on)
Hang on (Hang on)
Hang on (Hang on)
