White Knuckles

[Intro]
Waitin' and waitin', I'm prayin'

[Verse 1]
I have a cherry blossom in my palm
It drifted in through an open shutter
Your hand is under mine, and I call
You, my fluorescent, accrescent lover

I got a premonition at heart
Climbs up my ankles in goosebumps with claws
No colder than at the start, frozen heart
Can't get the sacred things to thaw

[Chorus]
And I'm white-knuckled
Makin' my own troubles
I said, I'm white knuckled, oh
I'm waitin', I'm achin', I'm prayin' with white knuckles

[Verse 2]
My friend tells me my fortune so soft
Whispers her caution over the cards
That I've been askin' to tell me all
Of the secrets to my baby's heart

You told me once that we're all kids
And I think you must be right
'Cause I can pretend not to see it again
But the monster resides inside

[Chorus]
And I'm white-knuckled
Makin' my own troubles
I said I'm white-knuckled (Ooo, oh)
I'm waitin', I'm achin', I'm prayin' with white knuckles

[Bridge]
I'm lettin' go (Lettin' go, lettin' go)
Our love is God (Love is God, love is God)
It's good to love (Good to love)
Even when it's lost
(Ooo, oo-oo-oo-oo)
(Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, bum buh, buh buh buh)

[Chorus]
I'm white-knuckled
Makin' my own troubles
'Cause I'm white-knuckled
I'm waitin', I'm achin', I'm prayin' with white knuckles, I'm
I'm waitin', I'm achin', I'm prayin' with white knuckles
I said, I'm waitin', I'm achin', I'm prayin' with white knuckles
