Private Fears In Public Places

So cold is the wind it blows your hair.

So warm is your touch upon my skin.

How tired am I of being scared?

But how awake am I now that I know you're here?

'Cause I'd rather fight with you

Than laugh with another.

I'd rather freeze in your arms

Than be warm under covers.

And I'd let you hit me before

I'd ever let you hit the floor.

And I'd rather choke

Than to breathe in your absence.

I'd rather feel your wrath

Than feel another's passion.

And I'd rather die on the day

That I give you a kiss

Than spend the rest of my life

Knowing I never did.

So just hold me and tell me

That I'm everything you need.

Tell me that the lonely

Little heart of yours

That I've been dying for

Ain't out of reach.

So if you're looking for some proof

That there's a heart inside of me

Then lace your fingers between mine

And you will see it start to leak.

And I know you're not a crutch

But I can hold you when I stand

'cause I am living for your touch

But I would die to be your man.

Let me look into your eyes

Like I am searching for your soul.

Wrap my arms around your waist

Like it is dying from the cold

Run my fingers through your hair

Like they are water from the drain.

Press my lips against your back

Like they could take away its pain.

And to give you everything

There is nothing I won't do.

Dump my heart into a blender

Just to pour it out to you.

And I know you're feeling tired

Just let me hold you for a bit.

Dive my face between your thighs

Until I cannot feel my lips, oh

I know that you think I'm kind of odd,

But if your love is a mountain

I swear that I'd climb to the top.

I would tell you you're lovely

And everything I'll ever need.

And I would give you my all

If you'd just come and stand next to me.
