Your world is breaking into pieces girl

But this ain't the time to hang your head

The world's at war outside the window pane

But you and I still have our bed.

Say you don't mean it

That you're still leaving

I know it's not your fault

The pain, it sets in

You're drawing curtains

And saying farewell to it all.

But I still see the way you glimmer

Shine it on, baby

Never let it get you down

There is a glimmer

You will make it

You can take it pound for pound

Right now.

And in the days when I first met you girl

You were tired of your lonely walk

The light makes shapes upon the water there

In the hidden bits of regents park.

Say you don't mean it

That you're still leaving

Tell me there's still a spark

The sun is setting

Behind the mountain

And everywhere is getting dark.

But I still see the way you glimmer

Shine it on, baby

Never let it get you down

There is a glimmer

You will make it

You can take it pound for pound

Right now.

Hold on

Hold on for what you need

Hold on

Hold on for what you need.

Now is the time when

You need a good friend

Don't sacrifice it all

The way I want you

Someday will haunt you

If you put me up against the wall.

But I still see the way you glimmer

Shine it on, baby

Never let it get you down

There is a glimmer

You will make it

You can take it pound for pound

Right now.
