Handwritten - The Gaslight Anthem

Pull it out, turn it up

What’s your favorite song

That’s mine

I’ve been crying to it since I was young

I know there’s someone out there

Feeling just like I feel

I know they’re waiting up

I know they’re waiting to hear

And I’ve been holding my breath

I’ve been holding my breath

For too many years to count, too many years to count

And we waited for the sirens that never come

And we only write by the moon

Every word handwritten

And to ease the loss of youth

And how many years I’ve missed you

Pages bleed forgiveness

Every word handwritten

Let it out, let me in

Take a hold of my hand

There’s nothing like another soul

That’s been cut up the same

And did you want to drive without a word in between

I can understand you need a minute to breathe

And to sew up the seams

And to own this defeat, and own this defeat

Here in the dark I cherish the moonlight

I’m in love with the way you’re in love with the night

And it travels from heart to limb to pen

Every word handwritten

Every word handwritten

And with this pen, I thee wed

From my heart to your distress

Every word handwritten
