Shied away from the light on my face
and every opportunity
to hold this diamond to the sun
and weigh the possibilities

If there’s no pity in this place,
I’ll scratch a line and turn the page
This may be obvious to you but
it’s not obvious to me

And there’s no theme,
just these slow and steady chords
to my pipe dream
accented by a loss for words
And it may seem
That you’ve heard this all before
If you haven’t yet considered
either side of wanting more

I’m accustomed and you know it
Letting go in verse and crawling back
time and again to the comfort of refrain
It’s a bittersweet relief,
Nothing better, nothing worse than
spilling your heart out
only to find out
in the end that nothing’s changed

It’s a risk that’s not worth taking
I’d rather lie alone forever
than freefall without knowing how you feel
Because I’m losing hope in the notion
of anything that I’ve ever told you,
and in anything that I could ever feel

And there’s no theme,
just these slow and steady chords
to my pipe dream
accented by a loss for words
And it may seem
That you’ve heard this all before
If you haven’t yet considered
either side of wanting more
