death‐grip Songtext
von Sam Nelson

Twelve years
Hard to believe we′re going on
Twelve years
Two kids and fixed-rate mortgage
Slow fears
Tucked into bed at night
Don't let the bed-bugs bite
Sleep tight

Smiling and laughing in front of our friends
But sometimes I flinch when you hold my hand

I′m right on the edge but
I got a death-grip
Gravity calls but I can't let go
This house is on fire
But I'm blocking the exit
This indecision′s got me by the throat
Try to tell you the truth and I choke
So I′ll say I love you when I don't


My fault
Can′t help but think that it's all
My fault
I let it get this far and now all
The gloves are off
I can′t just walk away from
From his life that we made
It's too late

Trying, trying the best we can
But I feel you flinch when you hold my hand

I′m right on the edge but
I got a death-grip
Gravity calls but I can't let go
This house is on fire
And I'm blocking the exit
This indecision′s got me by the throat
Try to tell you the truth but I choke
So I′ll say I love you when I don't

I don′t

I'm right on the edge but
I got a death-grip
Gravity calls but I can′t let go
This house is on fire
But I'm blocking the exit
This indecision′s got me by the throat


I'm right on the edge but
I got a death-grip
Gravity calls but I can't let go
This house is on fire
And I′m blocking the exit
This indecision′s got me by the throat
Try to tell you the truth and I choke
So I'll say I love you when I don′t

When I don't
