[Verse 1: Cyle Barnes]
Bleach hair, walk straight, talk like you're 'sposed to
Good things we miss, skip like a curfew
Don't stand so close, that boy will burn you
Dog-ear my pages so you see where I turn to
Hand out, neck up, shake like a pistol
Aimed high with closed eyes
And claim that the wind blew
[Chorus: Cyle Barnes]
How much more can we take before the bow breaks?
Prayin' my branches hold weight
Know we've made mistakes
[Verse 2: Cyle Barnes and The Watson Twins]
Clinched fist, loose lips, spread for a secret
Stole things, gold rings, begged hеr to keep it [?]
Look toward your throne, he said that's wherе the thief sits
Heard she had a bad side, wanna know where she keeps it
Stand up, big smile, let them come closer
Clean face, a good pace, he screams when it's over
[Chorus: Cyle Barnes and The Watson Twins]
How much more can we take before the bow breaks?
Prayin' my branches hold weight
Know we've made mistakes
Hold tight, hold tight, wrapped up in midnight
Remember my warm breath and forget the daylight
[Verse 3: Cycle Barnes and The Watson Twins]
Big dreams, good-hearted, at least that's what some say
Bent back, rough hands, earned it the hard way
Push the sweet north, I chose the south way [?]
Blue eyes and bad nights, she cries when the song plays
Prays for her father, he reminds her of Sundays
Face full of fire and her eyes big as ash trays
[Chorus: Cyle Barnes and The Watson Twins]
How much more can we take before the bow breaks?
Prayin' my branches hold weight
Know we've made mistakes
Hold tight, hold tight, wrapped up in midnight
Remember my warm breath and forget the daylight
Hold tight, hold tight, wrapped up in midnight
Remember my warm breath and forget the daylight
[Verse 4]
Stay close, pack light, watch where you're walkin'
Don't sell me short, I'll do the talkin'
Her plans, her life, I played a big part
Follow my steps, you can see where it all starts
Drunk words, nervous, slept in the hallway
Sang with the crickets and cried we were okay
[Chorus: Cyle Barnes and The Watson Twins]
How much more can we take before the bow breaks?
Prayin' my branches hold weight
Know we've made mistakes
Hold tight, hold tight, wrapped up in midnight
Remember my warm breath and forget the daylight
Hold tight, hold tight, wrapped up in midnight
Remember my warm breath and forget the daylight
