take the reins

Singer:martha wainwright

how lost till a person can't be found

didn't know the cost would put me underground

i see who brings this

i see who brings this

some messed up

the life of the insane

cough up blood and bitter with pain

but i see who brings this

it's me who brings this

oh

but if you take the reins

i will never look back

oh

if you'll take the reins

i will never look back

i give up but my body won't know how

curse my life but i'm trembling at that now

i see who brings me down

down

down

down

if you take the reins

i will never look back

oh

if you take the reins

i will never look back

i depend on you

for all that i lack

how lost till a person can't be found

learning how to swim when your halfway to drowned

i see how low i go on my own

and if you take the reins

i will never look back

oh

if you take the reins

i will never look back

if you'll take the reins

i will never look back

if you will take the reins

i will never look back

oh

believe me

on my own

it is a one way track
