Erase

If I could be more careful with my mistakes.
If I could follow rules that I couldn't break.
If I'd fall asleep
I wouldn't wake
I wouldn't wake up, no.

If I could erase
what I said
that hurt you
that burned you
I would.
If I could retrace
what I did
that choked you
and broke you
I would.

If I could
I would
If I could
I would
you know I would.

Let's Hold Hands

I see someone in the mirror
who doesn't look like me.

They have brown eyes & black hair.
You're asking who could I possibly see.

I see a girl of different colors.
I see a boy that loves others.

So can we be together forever?
Let's hold hands, let's hold hands.
Can't we all get along?
Let's hold hands, let's hold hands
before forever's gone.

I see somebody across the street
who doesn't act like me.

They have a Swedish accent
and seem mighty fair.
Who could I mean?

I see a nation of different colors
but I wanna see a nation that loves another.

Before time leaves, before time leaves.
Before we'll never have a chance-
let's hold hands.
