Deception/rejection, it all feels the same.
My heart takes the beating, my head gains the strength…
(boogie)
YOU’RE THERE!
These words keep ringing in my ear
I’ve walked throughout this town, but still your voice is all I hear
I WANT YOU!
Is the last thing that you said
Before I ran away—I ran away
(Step up, I fall back)
I hold my head in the clouds
And my heart in my hands
It keeps me safe and sound
It keeps me safe and sound
This city seems chaotic without you near
The buildings spit down on me as I look up in fear
That hand I held so dear…
My knees are weak, but I’m still standing
Heart lies flat, but still it’s pounding
There’s a weight that sits on my chest
I lie here and wait, but I cannot rest
My knees are weak, but I’m still standing
I lie here and wait, but I cannot rest
My problem is I’ve waited far too long
And have regret far too much
That I now beat what’s dead and overdue
To fix my faults and let go of you
(But I’m trying, I’m trying, I’m trying, I’m trying)
