heather maloney - hangin on lyrics

well, i came across a pretty thing you painted
when we were first acquainted, when we first laid eyes
and you tried to paint me into a still life

but i couldn’t hold still like a child, like time
and when you come around i go crazy for the sound
of you slipping through my window, through my fingers
and when you go, you go like money from a gambler
and when you go, it’s quick as liquor from a drunk
and when you go, it’s fast as gasoline, as summer
as childhood, as wonder
as anything worth hangin’ on, hangin’ on to
in all our photographs, i’m always out of focus
i’m blurry-eyed and hopeless, i’m spinning for your love
you make me dizzy, but you don’t make me nauseous
i’m careful but i ain’t cautious, i’m whirling like a sufi
and when you come around, i’m devoted as a dervish
and i don’t deserve it, but i need your company
and when you go, you go like money from a gambler
and when you go, it’s quick as liquor from a drunk
and when you go, it’s fast as gasoline, as summer
as childhood, as wonder
as anything worth hangin’ on, hangin’ on to
in all my dreams, you are always leaving
escaping my add and giving up on a messy mind
when i was awoken, it was my sweat that was broken
and my lungs that were choking trying to catch your breath
and you were right inside, flowing like a lotus
you were waiting for me to notice, you even left the window cracked
hangin’ on, i’m hangin’ on, i’m hangin’ on, i’m hangin’ on to you
