I heard you made the local news
an unexpected callout from a stranger
And you were all a bit confused
Your unknown status was in quite a bit of danger
But I'll try to comfort you when everything goes wrong
and if I take a break from you, it won't be very long
Because I haven't got the time to waste away from that old face
and I can't choose a place much better
So, my love, hold your breath and lock your knees
and go under, lose yourself and be at ease
I heard you play a small guitar
the large alternative was just a little harder
but it won't get you very far
the songs you write are gonna need to be much smarter
But I'll take the blame for you when you make your mistakes
when you drive into traffic, I'm the one who slams the breaks
But it won't do all that much damage to the way I feel for you
because I can't choose a place much better
So, my love, hold your breath and lock your knees
and go under, lose yourself and be at ease
I've lost you once before
a sad man crawling, defeated by the way
But if it suits me, I can wait for you
So I'll try to comfort you when everything goes wrong
and if I take a break from you, it won't be very long
Because I haven't got the time to waste away from that old face
and I can't choose a place much better
So, my love, hold your breath and lock your knees
and go under, lose yourself and be at ease, be at ease
