[Verse 1] Pale skin, hard stare Green-gray eyes like knives Grease in the black hair Damp in the evening light Silver hoops at her ears Distressed leather, torn at the seam She stands by the old wall Like she knows what it means [Pre-Chorus] Weathered paint on concrete Peeling down in strips Long shadows on her collar Tension in her lips She don’t flinch She don’t fold Something in her gaze Stays cold [Chorus] Hold that look, hold that look Don’t let it slip away Hold that look, hold that look Rough and bright and gray She wears the scarred-up jacket Like a second skin Hold that look, hold that look Let the tension in [Verse 2] Beige tank, raw-edge cut Nothing dressed to please Slim frame, steady weight Standing in the breeze Every scratch on the wall Feels like it has a name She’s got that worn-down fire Burning just the same [Pre-Chorus] Weathered paint on concrete Peeling down in strips Long shadows on her collar Tension in her lips She don’t flinch She don’t fold Something in her gaze Stays cold [Chorus] Hold that look, hold that look Don’t let it slip away Hold that look, hold that look Rough and bright and gray She wears the scarred-up jacket Like a second skin Hold that look, hold that look Let the tension in [Bridge] Golden light on busted walls Soft on all that grit Beauty with the edges on That’s the part that hits She’s all smoke and steel All quiet thunder, too And every line on her face Feels brutally true [Final Chorus] Hold that look, hold that look Don’t let it slip away Hold that look, hold that look Rough and bright and gray She wears the scarred-up jacket Like a second skin Hold that look, hold that look Let the tension in
