You Never Wanna Hold Me in the Day Video (MV)

Your head gives you the red light, desire gives you green
Cause you're terrified to love a man, who loves you as you're seen
But I've loved you in your shadows passed, I love you here today
And I'd love you through tomorrow, if you'd have me, if you'd stay
But you want me like a cigarette, when the timing's right
A backdoor alley rendezvous, to feed your appetite
And you can't quite get the smell off, the craving racks your brain
So you keep me in the nighttime, like a habit you won't claim

Oh you never wanna hold me in the day
Cause I guess I'm some pariah, that you don't want to explain
So you hide me in a closet, with the skeletons you've made
Oh you never wanna hold me in the day

Cause your heart's a house divided, strugglin' to stand
How the pieces are uneven, cause you love another man
And that feels just like a highway, a dusty desert trail
Will it send you straight to heaven, will it lead you down to hell?

Oh you never wanna hold me in the day
Cause I guess I'm some pariah, that you don't want to explain
So you hide me in a closet, with the skeletons you've made
Oh you never wanna hold me in the day

So you put me on a shelf, and you leave a trail of crumbs
And you give me just enough, just to make sure I don't run
If by chance we're seen together, then you hang your head in shame
Like I'm second class or worthless, like I somehow share the blame

Oh you never wanna hold me in the day
Cause I guess I'm some pariah, that you don't want to explain
So you hide me in a closet, with the skeletons you've made
Oh you never wanna hold me in the day
Oh you never wanna hold me in the day
