I felt the shiver at your call
I spoke too much or not at all
I couldn't bear it
I couldn't bear it
I couldn't bear to hear it all

I guess it comes as no surprise
Still my heart withers every time
I'll have to hold it
I'll have to hold it
I'll have to keep my hope alive

And I can't tell you it's alright
But it's alright with me
I can only hold you
Like a tree holds to its leaves
Yes it hurts my heart to hear
But it's okay that you told me
I will hold you
Like a river in my arms

I turned the corners of your mind
Found myself missing every time
I didn't know you
I didn't know you
I didn't know what I would find

I get you on the phone again
I never know which one I'll get
Window is open
Window is open
You take the moments where you can

And I can't tell you you're alright
But you're alright with me
I can only hold you
Like a tree holds to its leaves
Yes it hurts my heart to hear
But it's okay that you told me
I will hold you
Like a river in my arms
