You'll never know
How beautiful I am, if
You never blow
My cover
Or step
Into the ocean
Will you step into the ocean?
Will you step into me?

Maybe I'm also
At fault
But can you blame me
For blaming you?
Can I blame you
For turning off
The lights?
Are you turning off the lights?

And when you tell me
That there's nothing
But two empty hands
Between us
Should I believe
That you can sleep at night?

I can never teach you
How to breathe
If you keep
Saying that you can
And I know
That your preventer is collecting
Dust in the closet
Cuz she broke it last time

We'll never know
That feeling that
All those songs promise
If we can't promise
To listen to that song
And I am waiting
For that
One more chance

And when you tell me
That there's nothing
But two empty hands
Between us
Should I believe
That you can sleep at night?

Can you,
Can you tell me
Can we promise
That we can
Open up
The smallest secrets
With our own hearts
