Waiting at the traffic lights
Your skin is cold, and your fists clenched tight
At first we're just strangers
But now I know you well
It's crazy, I know, but under your coat
Is a heart beating just like mine
And God only knows, I've I've felt that cold
I've felt that damp rising up inside
I don't know your name, but I know who you are
You're like a child who's screaming, "Save me from the dark!"
Somebody hold me, somebody own me
Somebody take away this pain
Somebody hold me
And bring me back to life again
It's a god-ugly world, if the tables were turned
Would you have what it takes to survive?
It's a god-ugly world, when you're not being heard
And you feel you've been left there to die
It's a god-ugly world
It's a god-ugly world
It's a god-ugly world
You, once a father, once a mother
Once a sister to someone else's brother
The journey was short, but it took your whole life
You know your pride
It's crazy, I know, but under your coat
Is a heart beating just like mine
And God only knows, I've felt that cold
I've felt that damp rising up inside
I don't know your name, but I know who you are
You're like a child who's screaming, "Save me from the dark!"
Somebody hold me, somebody own me
Somebody take away this pain
Somebody hold me
And bring me back to life again
It's a god-ugly world, if the tables were turned
Would you have what it takes to survive?
It's a god-ugly world, when you're not being heard
And you feel like you're left there to die
It's a god-ugly world
It's a god-ugly world
It's a god-ugly world
It's crazy, I know, but under your coat
Is a heart beating just like mine
And God only knows, I've felt the cold
I've felt that damp rising up inside
