The Gaslight Anthem - Handwritten lyrics

rate me

Pull it out, turn it up, what's your favorite song?

That's mine, I've been crying to it since I was young

I know there's someone out there waiting up, I know they're waiting to heal

And I've been holding my breath

Are you holding your breath

For too many years to count?

And we waited for the sirens that never come

And we only write by the moon

Every word handwritten

And to ease the loss of youth

And how many years I've missed you

Pages plead forgiveness

Every word handwritten

Let it out, let me in, take a hold of my hand

There's nothing like another soul that's been cut up the same

And did you want to drive without a word in between?

I can understand, you need a minute to breathe

And to sew up the seams after all this defeat

And we waited for the sirens that never come

And we only write by the moon

Every word handwritten

And to ease the loss of youth

And the many, many years I've missed you

Pages plead forgiveness

Every word handwritten

Here in the dark, I cherish the moonlight

I'm in love with the way you're in love with the night

And it travels from heart to limb to pen

And we waited for the sirens that never come

And we only write by the moon

Every word handwritten

Every word handwritten

And with this pen, I thee wed

From my heart to your distress
