Open Up To Me

And I thought that we were done

I was so scared to death

That I'd never get another chance

To share the same breath

With the girl in Nebraska

That turned me around

The day that I met you

Was the day that I found

A reason to live

A reason to breathe

You made me forget

every insecurity

That I'd built up inside

Cause I just couldn't take it

I thought that I could

But I was sadly mistaken

Now it's your choice

You know that I'm crossing my fingers

That you'll give me a chance

Even though the fear lingers

Cause he left you a scar

That was deep enough to see

And I hate that because of him

You're doing this to me

So baby drop off the act

And drop down your guard

I made you the promise

That I won't break your heart

And when the sun starts to rise

And the spark starts between us

You can look in my eyes

And you'll know that I mean it

Oh... oh...

I swear that I'll mean it...

Oh... oh...

I swear that I'll mean it

I'm not leaving til you tell me

That we're meant to be

because the feeling's got me restless

It's been weeks since I could sleep

I've been staring at the ceiling

And counting down the days

Until the moment that you finally

Open up to me

I've been taking shit for granted

Because it's hard to care

About the other things in life

When I just wish that you were there

So baby stop the masquerade

I'll give you time to breathe

The only thing I ask for in return is that you

Open up to me...

Is that you open up to me...

Is that you open up to me...

Is that you open up to me...

Is that you open up to me...

And I'd never missed you more

Than on the day I thought I lost you

It fucked me up so badly

Cause I thought for sure I'd caught you

And my sentences were running like

They had no place to go

They haven't been the same since,

God dammit, I don't know

But what I know is that you feel it

Cause I can feel it to

It's like the sky is falling down

And there is nothing you can do

Or like your trapped inside a box

And no one's got the key

I've come to make the rescue

If you would only let me...

Oh... oh...

If you would only let me...

Oh... oh...

If you would only let me...

I'm not leaving til you tell me

That we're meant to be

because the feeling's got me restless

It's been weeks since I could sleep

I've been staring at the ceiling

And counting down the days

Until the moment that you finally

Open up to me

I've been taking shit for granted

Because it's hard to care

About the other things in life

When I just wish that you were there

So baby stop the masquerade

I'll give you time to breathe

The only thing I ask for in return is that you

Open up to me

Me and you are the only thing I see...

Me and you are the only thing I see...

I'm not leaving til you tell me

That we're meant to be

because the feeling's got me restless

It's been weeks since I could sleep

I've been staring at the ceiling

And counting down the days

Until the moment that you finally

Open up to me

I've been taking shit for granted

Because it's hard to care

About the other things in life

When I just want you there

So baby stop the masquerade

I'll give you time to breathe

The only thing I ask for in return is that you

Open up to me...
