lyrics

Head on your shoulder now
The barest surface
That feeling of closeness
I can't replicate elsewhere
An open wound
Unspoken but familiar
We lie in the minutes
As they start to close in on me

This feels so good
And you could feel so much better
But I'll take you all
In your uncertainty
This lesson in meeting you
In not expecting
In taking away what's here for me

I know I made you feel so good
You could be anything to anyone if you wanted to
You look me right in the eyes
And there's no problem going there
But you won't take me all the way in

I don't understand
Disappearing and playing dead
When there's acceptance
In all the things we've said
If it feels weird
You said you know we'd talk about it
At times it felt like you wanted
Something you couldn't get

I know I made you feel so good
You could be anything to anyone if you wanted to
You look me right in the eyes
And there's no problem going there
But you won't take me all the way in
Take me all the way in
Take me all the way in

The relief you feel when I'm gone
Makes it more devastating to count on
But the way you grip me tightly
Makes me think otherwise
And the way you hold on to me
Makes me think otherwise

I know I made you feel so good
You could be anything to anyone if you wanted to
You look me right in the eyes
And there's no problem going there
But you won't take me all the way in
Take me all the way in
Take me all the way in
