lyrics

1 am again
won’t you let me in?
i’ve come across
an ocean
just to drink your cup
looking up
to watch you shut
your curtains

and i won’t start a fuss
no i’ve waged wars enough
to hold
my tired bones
but i don’t wanna wait
make that mistake
of growing old
to a dial tone

go slow, my dear
i’m getting nowhere near
you keep me running from
what we’ve become
and all this time
i’ve wasted
all my life
i’ve paid the cost
of getting lost

and i’m so scared
what i give up
is all you’ll want
but not enough
i’d bring the whole world down
to get to you

can i belong to
you will or won’t you
goes the test
can we live like this?
back where we were before
fall through the floor
we’ll break our wrists
for one perfect kiss

well don’t let go
you’ll be the first to know
when i can find out why
i can’t decide
and all this time
i’ve waited
all my life
to lay my pride
on the line

and i’m so scared
what i give up
is all you’ll want
but not enough
i’d bring the whole world down
to get to you

you, you, you, you

1 am again
won’t you let me in?
i’ve come across
an ocean

and i’m so scared
what i give up
is all you’ll want
but not enough
and i’d bring the whole world down
i’d bring the whole world down
i’d bring the whole world down
to get to you
to get to you
