lyrics

I've got your hand in my hand,
But I’m slippin' away
We got as far as we could
From the smell of decay
I've got a few nagging feelings
That I want to convey
And I’ll come through

Drive as fast as you can
We don’t need to look back
We’ve got our lives in the trunk
We’ve got everything packed
Who cares if one small family
Photo is cracked?
I will come through

So keep a close, close watch
On the crack in your door
Not the last place you’d look
But the first you’d ignore
They will never rest
No, I’m preparing for war
They can hit me hard
But I will settle the score
Settle the score
Settle the score

I've got your hand in my hand
But the bottle is dry
I’ve got a few nagging thoughts
That I’ve gotta let fly
If you give me one second
Before the both of us die
I will come through

So make your peace with your man
Cause there’s nobody now
We made a plan, took a shot
And ‘til death was our vow
So watch your step, watch your back
I don’t think you know how
I will come through

So keep a close, close watch
On the crack in your door
Not the last place you’d look
But the first you’d ignore
They will never rest
No, I’m preparing for war
They can hit me hard
But I will settle the score
Settle the score
Settle the score

I've got your hand in my hand,
But I’m slippin' away
I’m the last fucking person
That you want to betray
So keep a chain on your door
But I promise someday
I will come through

Cause I’ve got plans on my mind
I’ve been nursing this bruise
I’ve got a bad, bad case
Of Gethsemane blues
I’ve got gas in the tank
I’ve got miles on these shoes,
I will come through
