lyrics

wonder what you’re thinking
as you walk on by
don’t meet my eyes
can’t let you stray too far
or you won’t come back
out of my grasp

how many moments have i spent trying to read you, to see through, only to come up against another wall that you built around you?
how much longer can you pretend to be legible and run away at every moment that you start to slip, to come undone?

i’m trying to get to the heart
guard slips away after dark
i’m trying to get to the heart
why don’t you come around

things sometimes feel empty
but it’s nice to have somewhere to hide
someone to confide in
everything unspoken
but you don’t have to shoulder it alone
cell of your own making

how many moments have i spent trying to find you, to get through, only to come up against another wall you put up?

i’m trying to get to the heart
guard slips away after dark
i’m trying to get to the heart
why don’t you come around

i want to know who you are
under the fortress surrounding you
i’m trying to get to the heart
why don’t you come around
