Oh, the past feels like a dream I can’t explain
They would fill my head with promises and shame
when the silence got too loud and spilled the truth
Takes a lifetime to repair a broken youth
and you hang on by a thread until you lose
I keep wondering if you ever saw the signs
or if you tried
Will you wait up for me,
If I don’t hide?
Let me lay down in your arms and watch the world cry
Will you look out for me,
So I don’t die?
Will you say the words out loud until it’s alright?
Everybody wants to own the truth
Everybody wants to taste the honey
And everybody tells me to let go
They keep talking about the man beneath my feet
I’ll confess my sins and dodge the burning heat
They keep saying that the love I know is wrong
I remember how they told me to be free
And how, suddenly, they turned their back on me
I guess love is not enough for everyone
under the sun
Will you wait up for me,
If I don’t hide?
Let me lay down in your arms and watch the world cry
Will you look out for me,
So I don’t die?
Will you say the words out loud until it’s alright?
Everybody wants to own the truth
Everybody wants to taste the honey
And everybody tells me to let go
