I'm trying
But still I close my eyes
The dreaming
Bringing his face to mine
Lock the door
The constant buzzing
All through the night
The fighting
Rips me all up inside
On the floor
I pace, I run my mouth
I pray and wait
I cross out his name on the page
This washes away?
(How long 'til) My body is safe?
(How long 'til) I walk in the light?
(How long 'til) This heart isn't mine?
The rise and fall
Of his chest on me
I'm trying
But still it's all I see
The violent
Current of energy
I hide it
Away and underneath
Lock the door
I shake, I promise everyday
To change
I cross out his name on the page
This washes away?
(How long 'til) My body is safe?
(How long 'til) I walk in the light?
(How long 'til) This heart isn't mine?
Take this wildness away
It away
It away
I'm trying
But still I close my eyes
The dreaming
Bringing his face to mine
Out the door
I pace, I run my mouth
I pray to change
I cross out his name on the page
This washes away?
(How long 'til) My body is safe?
(How long 'til) This heart isn't mine?
I just want him in my arms
I just want him in my arms
