lyrics

Now this may sound crazy
But I've been trying to lie to you
Ever since you stole my apathy
Why would you lock the door
If you crack the window when you sleep?

But do I have strength enough
Strength enough to survive the truth?
Or does your innocence mean I can't do it tactfully?
It's taking everything
Not to close the distance we keep

Right now I want you, right now, I need you
'Cause it's easier to run from love when you can't see the face you're running from
And you don't know the rest you can find from the arms you're dying to leave behind
I'm too close to missing eternity again

Now I can't promise you anything but this
No reserves, no regrets, no retreats this time
Please forgive my restlessness
It's harder to accept than fight
It's not that I can't let you go
It's that I can't let go of you

The scene will never be perfect but
Maybe two wrongs can make it right
From ashes to everlasting
I think the test of time
Has better questions than we're asking

Right now I want you, right now, I need you
But unlock the door so we don't leave broken glass should we leave

What if we fall?
What if we break?
What if we lose our way
A day's stroll from heaven's gates?
I could go blind today
If the last thing I saw was your face

I'll make you trust me again
I'll make you love me again
You don't have to worry this time
I'll make you believe in me again
