lyrics

I don't do this very often, wear my heart upon my sleeve
Writing songs or writing stories, but they're mostly make-believe
Maybe you can see this coming, though I haven't known you long
Nervous hands upon a keyboard; what if I say something wrong?

I keep wishing, I keep hoping, making plans that won't come true
'Cause I know it's not a fairytale that ends with me and you
I'm not brave enough to ask you, so afraid to push too far:
Won't you be my safest harbor? Won't you be my guiding star?

At least if I put this all down on paper
Maybe it won't be so loud in my head
I want you, I want you, I'm crazy to want you
But I fall, I fall, I fall

Words are slow and hard and painful as I rip them from my chest
What's the rhythm, what's the meaning that I'm trying to express?
Penning verses upon verses to a tune I'll never sing
Crumpled scraps of torn-up paper, but they don't say anything

I'll keep shoving all my feelings in the stupid things I write
Though I worry that it's obvious I lie away at night
Is it one song - or a dozen? In the end, they're all for you
Little pieces of a story that I fear you'll see right through

At least if I put this all down on paper
Maybe it won't be so loud in my head
I want you, I want you, I'm crazy to want you
But I fall, I fall, I fall

You know, I think of you so often, but I'm scared to make the leap
Let me be the one to comfort you and hold you while you sleep
God, I wish that you were closer, want to see you every day
But that's crazy to imagine when you're half a world away

At least if I put this all down on paper
Maybe it won't be so loud in my head
I want you, I want you, I'm crazy to want you
But I fall, I fall, I fall
I fall, I fall, I fall
