lyrics
I'm not holding on at all to thoughts of letting go
but do you feel the pull of the lives that we won't know
the fractured parts of broken hearts just waiting to be sewn
I clutched my chest and thought how I should be alone
and how it's too late to contemplate the ends that we can't shake
I leave those glass thoughts on the shelf
or watch them fall down and break
you folding so neatly back into my memory
I felt the warmth that you take with you when you leave
and I don't want to fall too far cause I'm not getting back up
approaching ground surrounding now with my eyes shut
if the past is dead, the present's next
and we are so afraid to fall so far from where we are
I'm not holding on at all to thoughts of how we'll land
but do you feel the pulse of the heart that's in your hand?
but do you feel the pull of the lives that we won't know
the fractured parts of broken hearts just waiting to be sewn
I clutched my chest and thought how I should be alone
and how it's too late to contemplate the ends that we can't shake
I leave those glass thoughts on the shelf
or watch them fall down and break
you folding so neatly back into my memory
I felt the warmth that you take with you when you leave
and I don't want to fall too far cause I'm not getting back up
approaching ground surrounding now with my eyes shut
if the past is dead, the present's next
and we are so afraid to fall so far from where we are
I'm not holding on at all to thoughts of how we'll land
but do you feel the pulse of the heart that's in your hand?

Torch Song
by Radiator Hospitalsupported by 28 fans who also own “Swan Dive”
Stumbled across this great band because of Martha the band and I just love their sometimes melancholy garage-sound. Also I like the acoustic songs. I still remember seeing them live in my hometown when they were touring with Erica Freas and asked them for a setlist to have something to remember the great concert. It´s hanging on my wall since that day :)
