Red Hands And White Knuckles Lyrics - Stir The Blood - Bravery

She could be found out dancin' 

At Ludlow Street and Stanton 

Oh, you should've seen her 

Shake it up like Orangina 

And even though she's a liar 

We got on like a house on fire 

And even though she's my friend 

We never knew when to say when 

Every little move she made 

Was a ticker tape parade 

And everything she'd say 

Was a national holiday 

And even though she's a liar 

No one ever got me higher 

And even though she's my friend 

We never knew when to say when 

With red hands and white knuckles 

I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on 

With red hands and white knuckles 

I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on 

She was at Tompkins Square 

Staring at the grass 

Trying to make her eyes turn green 

But it never lasts 

And even though she's a liar 

No one ever got me higher 

'Cause we never knew when to say when 

Even though she was my friend 

With red hands and white knuckles 

I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on 

With red hands and white knuckles 

I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on 

Over on 5th and C 

She got her beers for free 

And every time I came in there 

She always laughed at me 

She said, "Who let this child in here?" 

You look like you teach math 

Your appled eyes betray 

You've never known loneliness 

With red hands and white knuckles 

I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on 

With red hands and white knuckles 

I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on 

I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on 

I tried to hold on, I tried to hold on
