lyrics

In my soul, there’s something that I want to say

We laughed until we cried
We cried until I changed
I changed until I thought
Maybe now I can come back again
But I’m not here at all
I’m too afraid I’ll fall
From the cloud of my distractions
To the lowlands of my soul

Was it a dream?
Then what does it mean?
When all my self indulgence
All falls back down on me
I’m out on a limb
I wanna fall in
There’s all the ways I’m afraid of love
But I still wanna be
Here with you

Do you mind? For a moment I want to stay

We laughed until we cried
In my mind you remained
I woke up with that song of love you sang
Humming in my brain
But I forgot the words
Do they sting when they are heard?
Or do they sing, the way to rain
A heavy peace down on my heart

Sometimes I, I feel like, I didn’t want it, I didn’t want it this way

Was it a dream?
Then what does it mean?
When all my self indulgence
All falls back down on me
I’m out on a limb
I wanna begin
There’s all the ways I’m afraid of love
But I still wanna be
Here with you

So I’m not feeling around to being brave?
What is love, if not forever, is it love?

You broke me open, when you cut me up
I’m afraid of love, but I can never have enough
It takes me over, but it takes time
Is that alright?
