spiders (hold onto me)

I want to cling to you
like you're my life line
only we've both fallen overboard
and it's anyone's guess
on who will drown the other first

You asked me what I wanted
for Christmas
and I don't know how to tell you
I want kindness gift wrapped
and secured with a bow
but there aren't any feel-good vibes
left in this frigid water between us
and no other gift will ever suffice

Love, love, love, love, love
it's just a four letter word
and I'm so dead inside
I can't imbue the word
with meaning

I want to cling to you
but you let go
I want to cling to you
but there are demons in the way
I want to cling to you
but you're not around today

I want to cling to you
but I know how to swim
I want to cling to you
but I think I'll let you drown
I want to cling to you
but life is easier
without you around

You asked me what I wanted
for Christmas
and I said nothing
