hold the hug too long (interlude)

The next time your chest is pressed against the one you love When the words won't leave your tongue When your heart is broken and raw Hold the hug too long Give the gift we often lack Grab the fabric on their back When they're sure they're not welcome When they were all along Hold the hug too long Hold them close cuz you need them Lay your life and your freedom Kick the lines in the sand After all they were drawn by man Hold the hug too long The next time your chest is pressed against the one you love When the words won't leave your tongue When your heart is broken and raw Hold the hug too long
