Bare Hands Lyrics by PUP

Morbid Stuff

2019

[Verse 1]
Cut me loose in mid-September
I was out of my element
Started buildin' up these walls
Keeping everybody outside of them
Bare hands holding on to the wire

[Verse 2]
Weeks pass, the Earth is turning
Things start swimmin' into focus
Now I'm rolling your words through my cheeks
Like a mouth full of poison
I watch it all go up in a fire

[Chorus]
(Ah) You were feelin' lonely, and you called me
Hopin' I'd be home
(Ah) You're like a bad trip or a sick habit
I shoulda left it alone
You were feelin' lonely, takin' advantage
Knowin' I wouldn't say no (No)
You're just a bad trip, I can't help it
Oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 3]
Wake up alone, now it's December
There's snow out in the yard
A cold wind cutting through my jacket
As I drift up the boulevard
That sinkin' feeling creepin' in again
No matter what I try
And I'm just waiting for a signal
I'm just staring down at my
Bare hands holding on to the wire
Good lord, I'm worn out, and I'm always tired
Bare hands holding on to the wire
And I'm always tired

[Chorus]
(Ah) You were feelin' lonely, and you called me
Hopin' I'd be home
(Ah) You're like a bad trip or a sick habit
I shoulda left it alone
You were feelin' lonely, takin' advantage
Knowing I wouldn't say no (No)
You're just a bad trip, I can't help it

[Bridge]
(Ah) You were feelin' lonely
(Ah) And you called me (Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah) Takin' advantage
(Ah) You're just a bad trip, I can't help it
Oh-oh-oh-oh

[Outro]
Bare hands holding on to the wire
Bare hands holding on to the wire
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah...
