So close
It's more than I can take
I'm so tired of turning and running away
When love just isn't safe

But I've already fallen from that hill
So I'm dropping my guard,
Here's your chance at my heart and

Oh, no
My walls are gonna break
So close
It's more than I can take
I'm so tired of turning and running away
When love just isn't safe

Everything you want, but it's everythiung you need
It's not always happy endings
But it's all the in-between
It's taken so long, so long to finally see
That your love is worth the risk
Oh, no
My walls are gonna break

You're not safe
And that's ok

So look past your glorious backyard and look towards the horizon -
find that sleepy everyday magic.

you'll never know what it's been like for me

I slip white oleanders behind my ears and he laces delilahs through my hair. We tie bandanas around our wrists and walk barefoot and fall into the cool grass with a scream, with a splash. And my dewy fingertips reach up to the sun, and in the cold light of morning I am myself, completely whole and wholly broken.
