Lyrical Transcription: Official lyrics, taken from jumplittlechildren.com in the fall of 2002

She wore out the feeling
With a tender killing
She paid for the blackout
I saw it rolling in

Was I, was I,
Watching over you
Or just watching you fall apart

Did I, did I
Lend a hand to hold you down
Or just a hand to hold
Did I, did I,
Pull the wool over your eyes
Or keep you from the cold


She came with a warning
She left with the morning
An eye on the doorway
A scar in the early light

Was I, was I,
Hanging on a word
Or was I just a messenger

Did I, did I
Lend a hand to hold you down
Or just a hand to hold
Did I, did I,
Pull the wool over your eyes
Or keep you from the cold

In every look upon your face
There was an element of grace
Did I read between the lines or erase

Did I, did I
Lend a hand to hold you down
Or just a hand to hold
Did I, did I,
Pull the wool over your eyes
Or keep you from the cold
