We held each other in the palm of our hands
Said I could crush you if it came down to it
But please, please, let me get a word in
I wanna have a say when
I get broken
What are the chances that the moment has passed
Stay carried away like you want it to last
But wait, wait, I don't think you hear me
Coming through clearly
Stop the bleeding
You know what I'll say
I don't like when you say nothing at all
I need someone to blame
I'll be damned if I'll be taking the fall
Just give me friction
So I know you're listening
Give me friction
So I know, so I know
You're listening
It's nice to feel like there's something at stake
Nobody cares if you've got no skin in the game
But who am I to talk or preach?
I can't even walk what I believe
And I know what you'll say
You don't like when I just head for the door
My coat and keys look like an easy way of ending the war
And you'll say
Give me friction
So I know you're listening
Yeah, give me friction
So I know, so I know
That somebody I said I'd never become
Ain't sleeping in my bed with my back to someone
Nobody move, everybody gets hurt
Oh, I'd like to see you try
But I'd hate to see it work
Just give me friction
So I know you're listening
The words are heavy but they're keeping me from floating away
Give me friction
Something convincing
So I know, so I know
You're listening
Are you listening?
