The Gaslight Anthem - Handwritten

 The Gaslight Anthem - Handwritten

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 feeling just how I feel
 I know they're 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 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 wanna 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 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 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 sirens that never come
 And we only write by the moon, every word handwritten
 And with this pen, I thee wed
 From my heart to your distress
