File Under: Ground (Take me in)

[verse 1]

I have got a colorful past written on my wall

(It doesn't really matter at all)

Such a strange game to play I go out of my way

Just to stamp it out

(It doesn't really matter at all)

I wanna live in a way that

I dread the grave that my bones will wed

As little as my own bed

A smarter man than me told me

"There is no bravery, just degrees of fear"

(But I fear that we're incapable)

[chorus]

Take me into your arms

It's amazing here where you are

But don't wake me

Make me melt into your arms again tonight

Take me into your arms send me baby

Higher and higher, don't wake me

Make me melt into your arms again tonight

[verse 2]

I have seen a paradox of people walk out that door

(It doesn't really matter at all)

where's the kid who went out of his way

Just to know your name?

(I never shoulda bothered)

I'm taking a deep hard look at the bald-faced crook

Too rich to last (too famous too fast, oh).

A wiser man than me told me

"Son you gotta be who you wanna be,

The rest is just a spectacle."

[bridge]

If all we are is stepping stones

Cast them all away

No one here will follow you down

Throw it all away

[final chorus]

Maybe we can start over and maybe

This could be possible baby

You'll never have to go anywhere alone

Take me into your arms

It's amazing here where you are

Don't you wake me

Make me melt into your arms again tonight
