Lyrics
Everything about this feels like less of me and more of you.
Every pen stroke, every word I spoke couldn’t lift me from this hole.
You threw a rope and pulled me up
then you crawled inside my heart.
Searching high and low for signs I might slide by with my skill.
Doesn’t look like that will fly. Let the rain fall where it will.
You threw a rope and pulled me up
then you crawled inside my heart.
Took the walls down so you’d stay.
Never thought you’d walk away.
Life doesn’t flow for everyone
and time doesn’t heal all wounds.
And it seems each time I bite the apple
I end up with the worm.
All this pacing wears me out.
There’s no replacing how you make me feel.
This fall is even further down from my old familiar hole.
You threw a rope and pulled me up
then you crawled inside my heart.
Made me feel more than useful.
Now it’s right back to the start.
You crawled inside my heart, crawled inside my heart.
You crawled inside my heart, inside my heart.
