(intro) (X2)
Maybe it's been a little too long
holdin' it in, trying to be strong.
Funny the things we bottle up
Come streaming out when you feel enough.
There is a trust the cautious will lack
and now that we've touched there's no holding back.
CHORUS
I want to call out for love 'til I can't breathe.
I want to stare at the truth 'til I can't see.
I want to pour out my soul 'til I'm empty, empty
Verse 2
When only flesh and bone remain
I'll hold you close then start again.
Feeling nothing but a sweet release
then the ghosts are gone from inside of me.
I've tried to fight it but what can I do?
There's something deeper that surrenders to you
CHORUS
Bridge:
When I touch you, when I hear you
how can I doubt when every time I'm near you
CHORUS
