[Verse 1] Found you in a pawn shop tray Cheap chain Little bronze stain Hung you on my collarbone Walked out feeling twice my size [Chorus] You’re my talisman Tiny god in the hollow of my hand When the world comes crashing in I just hold on Hold on again You’re my talisman Cold metal But you keep my heart warm Every strange little twist I’m in I just hold on Hold on again [Verse 2] Fingertips trace your worn-down edge Name carved on the back I can’t read Still I wear your secret like a vow Whisper to you when I’m scared too loud [Chorus] You’re my talisman Tiny god in the hollow of my hand When the world comes crashing in I just hold on Hold on again You’re my talisman Cold metal But you keep my heart warm Every strange little twist I’m in I just hold on Hold on again [Bridge] If I lose you Will I lose me too? (oh) Or did I pour All my brave into you? [Chorus] You’re my talisman Tiny god in the hollow of my hand When the dark starts closing in I just hold on Breathe out Breathe in You’re my talisman Cold metal But you keep my heart warm Every strange little twist I’m in I just hold on Hold on again
