unraveling from the heart

my seams are bursting open as you see me fall apart

into your hands like I have nowhere else to go

eyes half shut waiting for you, with nothing to show

open-ended time spans of days without your face

and I guess it shouldn't matter cause, i'm still in second place.

as persistent as I am, you would think I have it down

but the minute that I see you, i'm a mess when you're around

I wish you'd understand that it's only right to take me in

i'd be there to hold your head up and tell you to keep looking forward

because i'm in this to win this, so lets see how it goes

fate could be lying around telling its stories, but god only knows

that I've passed every guy up for you. yeah, you.

just put your hand out for me to hold

then one foot in front of the other and we'll give this our best shot

i want to be with you, with everything that I got.

if you'd let me do that, just let me do that.
