lyrics

A night awake when all is still, as the stories in my mind
Play out in a panic, and I can only hit rewind.
There’s a boy who flew where the wind blew and a boy who’s standing still.
I pray someday I’ll fly again but I don’t know if I will.

What’s beyond my view is always out of reach, when I can’t see.

I’ll keep growing shallow just to hide my thoughts away
I’ll fall in love with love itself so my heart never breaks.
Because I’m scared to admit that I’m afraid.
So I run in place.

I dress myself in “What Ifs?” because naked is ashamed
The mouth of doubt behind my smile always plays it safe.

When risk is just four letters, l o v e, love.
Vulnerable is even more, but content is just enough.
If the one reached out, my hand would shake too much to hold,
And I’d let her go.

I’ll keep growing shallow just to hide my thoughts away
I’ll fall in love with love itself so my heart never breaks.
Because I’m scared to admit that I’m afraid.
So I run in place.

I’ll find love in passages of other pens, I’ll search for her in songs.
Now that it’s quiet and the books are read I realize, she was with me all along.

I’ll keep growing shallow just to hide my thoughts away
I’ll fall in love with love itself so my heart never breaks.
Because I’m scared to admit that I’m afraid.
So I run in place.
