lyrics

My back’s to the wall
The most bashful of us all
Watching you step into the room
And dance like an animal

And God it makes me weak
And God I need a drink
To disregard the thoughts I think
And just step out with you

Well my old mind
Would over analyze

But I have made amends
With the voices in my head
And though I’ll always hear them
I’m reaching out again

Walking to your house
And I’m staring at your mouth
The string of words it’s speaking out
Sounds like a parable

And isn’t it a waste
When mine don’t sound the same
Oh all I think to say
Is “can I come in with you?”

See I still find
I’m quick to criticize

But I have made amends
With the voices in my head
And though I’ll always hear them
I’m reaching for your hand

All I know is that the night
Isn’t ever wrong or right
And I’ll stay with you
Oh, for as long as you ask me to

I sleep fine
With Eliza at my side

Waking in the morning
She reaches for a pen
