With an urgency

hey you, young love, don't let them cut out your tongue.
swallow the key to your heart, & smile through your teeth.
hey you, young love, don't let them cut out your tongue.
it's only over when we choose to forgive them.

give me your hand when no one else understands.
the day the hostages are making demands.
we gave ourselves, when there was nobody else.
we found what we were looking for in the summer.

i never begged to be immune, to love a heart so out of tune.
but i believed you when you told me i was ruined.
& if the sun comes up again, i'll be waiting for the others to come in.
& they'll never take us alive. & they can never take away what keeps you safe,
when you're afraid to lose it all.
just love & nothing more, until we love nothing more.
until we love.

i never begged to be immune, to love a heart so out of tune.
but i believed you when you told me i was ruined.
& if the sun comes up again, i'll be waiting for the others to come in.
they'll never take us alive.

i never begged to be immune, to love a heart so out of tune.
but i believed you when you said i was ruined.

hey you, young love, & all that's left of us.
hey you, young love.
hey you, young love, & all that's left of us.
hey you, young love.
