Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Along the way
It may get hot
Hold out your hand
In the dark
Tell it like it is I want to love you like an honest man
Don't tell if there's anybody else
I want to be your defender
Be a royal jerk
Tell it like it is I want to love you like an honest man
Under the covers is a ghost and a lonely little boy
Who wants to be your defender
Be a loyal jerk
Along the way
It may get hot
Hold out your hand
In the dark
Borrow from the past and steal from the future
Borrow from the past and steal from the future
Borrow from the past and steal from the future
Borrow from the past, borrow from the past
Borrow from the past and steal from the future
Borrow from the past and steal from the future
Borrow from the past and steal from the future
Borrow from the past, borrow from the past
(be a loyal jerk)
(be a loyal jerk)
Along the way
It may get hot
Hold out your hand
In the dark
Tell it like it is I want to love you like an honest man
Under the covers is a ghost and a lonely little boy
Who wants to be your defender
Be a royal jerk
Along the way
It may get hot




Hold out your hand
In the dark
