One Hand Holding Lyrics
Oh love I was torn, I was torn
But I put those thoughts away love
Just a thought
Will the gods look kindly
Those thoughts are behind me
Oh why would you be led to suppose
Oh why would you be led by your nose
Why would you kill it, kill it, kill it before it dies
Why would you kill it, kill it, kill it before it dies
Those puffy eyes are no surprise
When there's a devil in the doorway
Heaven in the hallway
Say you'll still adore me
And I'm far out on an ocean
Trapped in a disaster
I'd say I still adore you
Oh why would you carry on a name
Oh why would you carry on the same
Why would you kill it, kill it, kill it before it dies
Why would you kill it, kill it, kill it before it dies
Those killer eyes don't look the same, the same, the same as they used to do
Not like the eyes, the eyes, the eyes that I make at you
I make at you, I make at you
It was torn up
But now it's alright, alright
It was torn up alright
But I put those thoughts away love
Just a thought
Will the gods look kindly
Those thoughts are behind me
Oh why would you be led by your nose
Why would you kill it, kill it, kill it before it dies
Those puffy eyes are no surprise
Heaven in the hallway
Say you'll still adore me
Trapped in a disaster
I'd say I still adore you
Oh why would you carry on the same
Why would you kill it, kill it, kill it before it dies
Those killer eyes don't look the same, the same, the same as they used to do
Not like the eyes, the eyes, the eyes that I make at you
I make at you, I make at you
But now it's alright, alright
It was torn up alright

best song on the new album bar miles in my opinion,basically about a girl ending a relationship with someoe and he still likes her, when he says it was torn up but not its alright i duno if that means they worked things out or his heart was torn up but now he's over it either way amazing tune!!!!! got to be a merury nominee
This is my most favourite song by the Maccabees it's so beautiful. To me it's about a relationship that's ending, "why would you kill it kill it kill it before it dies" and how even though they both know it's ending the girl is making it worse it's a song about a really strong type of love - adoration and I love, love Orlando Weeks' voice
This song gives me strength every time I hear it.
