On Our Own

[Verse 1]
Lend me your hand, I’ll fasten a bow
Everything’s better with ribbon, you know
Try to see straight, and look far away
I’ll point your finger to the end of the day
Well you know I don’t love you, but you know that I’ll stay
And you know that I’ll always be going away
So untie your laces, kick off your boots
Maybe there’s something here that isn’t old news

[Pre-Chorus]
And we’ll see better with our eyes closed
And maybe we’ll feel the way the wind blows

[Chorus]
There’s Venus hanging in the sky
Oh how she lied
That cuckoos croon and flowers sigh
And someone’s gotta hold me till I die
I’m on my own

[Verse 2]
Please don’t be scared I can tell you’re afraid
It won’t be so bad when you’ve gone on your way
Try to be cool, try to throw it away
But it’s not every day you find somebody who can know you all the way

[Pre-Chorus]
And we’ll see better with our eyes closed
And time flows even when you don’t know

[Chorus]
There’s Venus hanging in the sky
Oh why’d she lie, she lied, she lied
That cuckoos croon and flowers sigh
And someone’s gotta hold us till we die
We’re on our own
