Let down my guard today You took my heart away Now I'm alone on a bench made for two Clutching this red balloon Filled up with thoughts of you Open my hand and it pressed to the sky of blue This is a call for freedom I'm too scared, too scared of Letting my mind start to reason And hope that you care for me Get my heart off my sleeve, 'cause loving you could be the death of me Now that my thoughts are sane Hopped on a northbound plane Off to a city that's absent of you Something that caught my eye Passing through painted skies Just out my window, a small red balloon This is a call for freedom I'm too scared, too scared of Letting my mind start to reason And hope that you care for me Get my heart off my sleeve, 'cause loving you could be the death of me I'll take my heart, I'll take my mind, I'll take my eyes off you I'm too scared, I'm too scared I'll take my heart, I'll take my mind, I'll take my eyes off you Can't hope that you care for me Get my heart off my sleeve, 'cause loving you Could be the death of me

I remember myself going to your house How we painted the walls as if they were ours It's on me How to carry myself It's on me To carry myself But how can I be your love If you don't wanna hold me? How can I be your love If you don't wanna see me? How can I be your love If you don't wanna hold me? Is it just me doubting the unknown? Great minds or great hearts, great souls? It's on me How to carry myself It's on me To carry myself But how can I be your love If you don't wanna hold me? How can I be your love If you don't wanna see me? How can I be your love If you don't wanna hold me? How can I be your love If you don't wanna hold me? Maybe I'm your skipping stone Maybe I'm your skipping stone Maybe I'm your skipping stone Maybe I'm your skipping stone

Sunny like the weather It grows on me like forest fun Would you run together Or stay the same just what you want There is something in your head Let me hold the pen and write your pages It is something you have said Keep it simple love you'll find your ways, and I'll be there Lost in all these changes You remind me of my oldest son The feelings of the waves can I know can be, overwhelming, sometimes There is something in your head Let me hold the pen and write your pages It is something you have said Keep it simple love you'll find your ways, and I'll be there

Sometimes i wonder Is there anything in life? Like redemption A free way to take all our strides No restrictions Am i a dreamer to hope? It won't take long to Get to a place like home Forgive me mother that i lived my life like i did Forgive me sister that i didn't always have your back But i'll have it now And i won't let you down Do you remember? The soft sun on our skins The smell of wooden cabins Where our love was within Can you recall? The stories that our father told Before going to bed felt like We would never grow old Forgive me mother that i lived my life like i did Forgive me sister that i didn't always have your back But i'll have it now And i won't let you Down I won't let you down

Oh my darling, how we tried to set our pace Now the wind keeps howling out your name And resonates in my heart everyday Oh Oh Oh my darling, it looks like autumn leaves for you Like the change to our sudden solid lies Made me wonder, what love, could do Oh Oh Naked as we come is how we go My body once was your holy home Maybe we have changed love But don't you see i'm holding on Holding on, holding on To your love My love Oh my darling, you left me tangled up But don't get me wrong i fell in love with this man And i promised him, forever Oh Oh Naked as we come is how we go My body once was your holy home I know that i have changed love But don't you see i'm holding on Holding on, holding on To your love My love

If I was like the ocean And if troubles could be found And if the earth felt like angel's song Maybe I'll come around If the trees could speak like human And if colours will be fine If it was so easy to make you mine Maybe I'll come around Mister, you never know if Mister, you never know if Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh If I could say you're sorry And if tears could disappear And if love wasn't the strangest thing Maybe I'll come around Mister, you never know if Mister, you never know if Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh If I wasn't made for love MaybeI'll come around If I wasn't made for love Maybe I'll come around If I wasn't made for love Maybe I'll come around If I wasn't made for love Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh If I wasn't made for love Maybe I'll come around If I wasn't made for love Maybe I'll come around If I wasn't made for love Maybe I'll come around If I wasn't made for love
