I've been warring with myself. I've wrestled these ideas and all these things I've felt. And I don't feel any better. The war goes on but whatever. We all think too much. I guess I sat here just hoping that all these things you were throwing Would reassure my uncertainties. I start to choose a direction When you shake your head and I question the steps I start to take. And I'm sure the view is breathtaking If I could only step to that ledge. They take a picture of you at the top. Did you smile when the flash went off? If I stop to catch my breath could you please slow up? Because it hurts that much when my lungs are numb. If I hint at giving in, remind me I'm strong And I need to be where I want to belong. It takes time to feel sure about this. Security is something I can't quite grab a hold of yet. I start to lose my direction when you choke on your words And I question the steps I start to take. Words are not necessary. So instead of that could you maybe Just let me go my way? They take a picture of you at the top. Did you smile when the flash went off? If I stop to catch my breath could you please slow up? Because it hurts that much when my lungs are numb. If I hint at giving in, remind me I'm strong And I need to be where I want to belong. I'm naked for the world. And it's chilling to be outside, Where I can't see anything in front of me clearly. It's a right of passage. Like a child in it's adolescence. It's a passing storm and I can only wait it out. So I wait it out, with our without you. If I stop to catch my breath could you please slow up? Because it hurts that much when my lungs are numb. If I hint at giving in, remind me I'm strong And I need to be where I want to belong. I'm naked for the world. And it's chilling to be outside, Where I can't see anything in front of me clearly.
