Album: Cold Hard Want (2012)

We Were Giants

I was counting on the chemicals, I was waiting on a miracle,
Holding back what was inevitable, Don't go, don't go.
A ray of hope is never tangible, Change is almost imperceptible,
A great wave that's immeasurable, But I know, I know,
We were giants once.

Hold on to me,
Hold on to us,
Hold on to me,
We were giants once.
I still believe,
Hold on to us,
We can still be,
We were giants once.

I remember how it used to be, We had a confidence a certainty,
Like we were in the graces permanently, Is that so, is that so?
Like a belief that you never see, 'Til you decide that it has to be,
That's the way it is with you and me, And I know, I know,
We were giants once.

Oh don't let go
We were giants once.

I was counting on the chemicals,
I was waiting on a miracle,
Holding back what was inevitable,
Giants once.

Hold on to me,
Hold on to us,
Hold on to me,
We were giants once,
I still believe,
We can still be,
Hold on to us
We were giants once
