I Can Feel You Pull Away
& It's Just As I Lean in
& the Timing Leaves Me Wide, Open
With a Miss I Am Betrayed
Slices Right Through My Thick Skin
Yet I Seek Another Hide
I'm Asking You to Stay [in My Arms]
Away [you're Breaking Me Apart]
Stay [in My Arms]
Away [you're Breaking Me Apart]
& I'm Out Here On a Limb
But I'm Holding Out My Hand
Hoping You Can Make the Climb, With Me
& I'm Carving in the Bark
Dropping Down to Where You Stand
Trying Silence On For Size
I'm Asking You to Stay [in My Arms]
Away [you're Breaking Me Apart]
Stay [in My Arms]
Away [you're Breaking Me Apart]
& I Miss You in My Fingers
& Valleys in Between
It's Odd How Feelings Linger
For Something Yet Unseen
There's Ages Between,
My Heart & My Mouth
My Veins Throb With That
Which I Can't Spit Out
Now I Don't Need Much
Just Presence in Mind
& Reassurance Your Ache Matches Mine
So Stay [please Don't Pull Away, From Me]
I'm Asking You to Stay [in My Arms]
Away [you're Breaking Me Apart]
Stay [in My Arms]
Away [you're Breaking Me Apart]
