I’ve been warring with myself.   I’ve wrestled these ideas and all these things I’ve felt.    And I don’t feel any better.    The war goes on but whatever.    We all think too much.   I guess I sat here just hoping that all these things you were throwing   Would reassure my uncertainties.      I start to choose a direction    When you shake your head and I question the steps I start to take.   And I’m sure the view is breathtaking    If I could only step to that ledge.      They take a picture of you at the top.   Did you smile when the flash went off?      If I stop to catch my breath could you please slow up?   Because it hurts that much when my lungs are numb.   If I hint at giving in, remind me I’m strong   And I need to be where I want to belong.      It takes time to feel sure about this.   Security is something I can’t quite grab a hold of yet.   I start to lose my direction when you choke on your words   And I question the steps I start to take.   Words are not necessary. So instead of that could you maybe    Just let me go my way?      They take a picture of you at the top.   Did you smile when the flash went off?      If I stop to catch my breath could you please slow up?   Because it hurts that much when my lungs are numb.   If I hint at giving in, remind me I’m strong   And I need to be where I want to belong.   I’m naked for the world.   And it’s chilling to be outside,   Where I can’t see anything in front of me clearly.      It’s a right of passage.   Like a child in it’s adolescence.   It’s a passing storm and I can only wait it out.      So I wait it out, with our without you.      If I stop to catch my breath could you please slow up?   Because it hurts that much when my lungs are numb.   If I hint at giving in, remind me I’m strong   And I need to be where I want to belong.   I’m naked for the world.   And it’s chilling to be outside,   Where I can’t see anything in front of me clearly.
