can′t hold you down can′t hurry you up there′s nothing I can do a slave to your hands
climb up above your precious time don′t worry your time don′t hurry your mind
where did you go where did you hide all I can do is watch you pass by
climb up above your precious time don′t worry your time don′t hurry your mind
everytime I try to take it back I know I don′t wanna live like that I′ll wait for tomorrow too tired to go the other way too late to wait another day I′m going on
climb up above your precious time don′t worry your time don′t hurry your mind
climb up above your precious time don′t worry your time don′t hurry your mind
Precious and fragile things Need special handling My God what have we done to you We always tried to share The tenderest of care Now look what we have put you through
Things get damaged Things get broken I thought we′d manage But words left unspoken Left us so brittle There was so little left to give
Angels with silver wings Shouldn′t know suffering I wish I could take the pain for you If God has a master plan That only He understands I hope it′s your eyes He′s seeing through
Things get damaged Things get broken I thought we′d manage But words left unspoken Left us so brittle There was so little left to give
I pray you learn to trust Have faith in both of us And keep room in your hearts for two
Things get damaged Things get broken I thought we′d manage But words left unspoken Left us so brittle There was so little left to give
I was so lost, didn′t know what to do with myself, I was my own worst enemy, I was lost and oh I needed help, Then you came along, and saw what state I was in, You picked me up, when I was down, Showed me how to live again.
I say thankyou, for pulling me through, I′m a lucky man, I was strong, and its took me so long For me to understand,
But its precious love, oh its precious love No I can′t let it go, This is precious love, and its teaching me, Everything I need to know,
This precious love, this precious love, I can′t get enough, I′m down on my knees, begging you please To give me some more of that stuff.
Love, love, love, love, love ; precious love Its love, love, love, love, love ; precious love
I got so distracted, by people all around, Whispering sweet nothings, filling my head with doubts
You′ll complete me right? then my life can finally begin I′ll be worthy right? only when you realize the gem I am?
But this won′t work now the way it once did And I won′t keep it up even though I would love to Once I know who I′m not then I′ll know who I am But I know I won′t keep on playing the victim
These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was defenseless And parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends
This ring will me yet as will you knight in shining armor This pill will help me yet as will these boys gone through like water
But this won′t work as well as the way it once did Cuz I want to decide between survival and bliss And though I know who I′m not I still don′t know who I am But I know I won′t keep on playing the victim
These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was a kid And parting with them is like parting with a childhood best friend
I′ve spent so long firmly looking outside me I′ve spent so much time living in survival mode
