In My Place

You never said it, never denied
Tears in the open, heart out of sight
I clean up breadcrumbs into the night
You run in circle, giddy with fright.
Following your lead
Let me see what I want to believe, then
Put me in my place, don't let me out of line
Give me just a taste before you change your mind
Do you know you broke my heart in three languages?
You're a work of art, but so dangerous,
You're so dangerous.
Waiting for answers that never come
Giving up slowly, twiddling my thumbs
You claw the doorway, ready to run
I'm locked from the inside, coming undone.
I think you forgot who I am,
Then you call the punchline no one else understands and
Put me in my place, don't let me out of line
Give me just a taste before you change your mind
Do you know you broke my heart in three languages?
You're a work of art, but so dangerous,
You're so dangerous.
Losing my footing, falling in.
Raiding and looting, you won't win.
Put me in my place, don't let me out of line
Give me just a taste before you change your mind
Do you know you broke my heart in three languages?
You're a work of art, but so dangerous,
You're so dangerous.

Aloft

You knew me well, but you forgot.
I'm clinging to the pieces; I'm drowning and aloft.
You dusted off the broken bones,
Held me till me ribs hurt, now I'm alone.
Tell me that you loved me.
We can't retrieve what you gave up so easily,
But, Baby, I'm not crazy,
You saw me, but you were scared of what I'd see.
You monopolized the tears.
I was asking questions you didn't want to hear.
And when you tried no words would come.
Maybe if I hadn't pulled the string, we would not have come undone.
Tell me that you loved me.
We can't retrieve what you gave up so easily,
But, Baby, I'm not crazy,
You saw me, but you were scared of what I'd see.
Better to leave than be left by me.
You knew me well, but you forgot.
I'm clinging to the pieces; I'm drowning and aloft.

Take My Hand
04:11
|

|
You put your head in my lap and fell asleep,
The world disappeared, no one else but you and me.
I played with your hair and I traced your skin,
Fully aware this is where our story begins.
How do I love you already? I don't understand
How nothing else makes sense, but when you take my hand,
All my lonely days are over,
All my fears are flying away.
High as a kite, stone-cold sober,
All I want is you to stay.
Watching you dream and I can't believe how lucky I am
That you think the world of me and want to be my man.
So rest a while longer, dear, I won't go anywhere
Nowhere I'd rather be, nothing I'd rather see, I'll just sit and stare.
How do I love you already? I don't understand
Nothing else makes sense, but when you take my hand,
All my lonely days are over,
All my fears are flying away.
High as a kite, stone-cold sober,
All I want is you to stay.

Distance
04:53

I caught a glimpse;
I felt a wave, an undertow.
It was enough,
It made you real from far below.
You're convincing from a distance.
Stand back, and let me believe you.
It's simple if I can't see you,
Won't have to let go if I can't reach you.
Stand back; I'll make do,
'Cause you're convincing from a distance.
If I would doubt,
If I would pull, we would unwind.
Be still my hands,
Be still my heart, I'll bide my time.
You're convincing from a distance.
Stand back, and let me believe you.
It's simple if I can't see you,
Won't have to let go if I can't reach you.
Stand back; I'll make do,
'Cause you're convincing...
Can I get a little closer now?
Will you hear me out?
Can I get a little closer now?
Is it one step forward, two steps back,
Or racing through my mind on a railway track?
Is it one step forward, two steps back?
You're convincing from a distance.
Stand back, and let me believe you.
It's simple if I can't see you,
Won't have to let go if I can't reach you.
Stand back; I'll make do,
'Cause you're convincing from a distance.
