Hot Coals

Hot Coals (熱炭) - Cold War Kids

I don't feel a thing walking on hot coals

No sensitivity in a thought of war

Tried to unwind to enjoy the good life

With the present that I hold on my shoulders's coals

And I suspect the reason I am loved

Is because of how tight I'm holding on

Nowadays they just wanna talk problems on and on

Whatever happened to the old fashioned strong and silent type

What they didn't know is once you get us in touch with a feeling

You would never keep it in once you pull the pen out

I suspect the reason I am loved

Is because of how tight I'm holding on

Will I set you free if I let go

Tell me would I still be the one you want

Even a broken clock

Is right twice a day

Even a first state law

Can't keep the thief away

It's not the type

Soldiers all go to hell

It's a place reserved for the twisted and evil

Now you'd ask how I feel it and I've told you that

But you're gonna torture me slowly within

And I suspect the reason I am loved

Is because of how tight I'm holding on

Will I set you free if I let go

Tell me would I still be the one you want

I had fallen behind

I had fallen behind

I'd fallen fallen behind

Oh I suspect the reason I am loved

I suspect the reason I am loved

Will I set you free if I let go

Tell me would I still be the one you want
