Wait
Won't you give me a minute
Wait
I'm afraid of the distance
Multiplied to miles wide
She's only inches from my side
I freeze
You can shatter me with ease
Watch me crumble the floor and beg for more
I am a glutton for the punishment in store
From you
You pretty little thing
You got me glued, subdued
I'm coiled like a spring
Just cut me loose, diffuse
The tension in my chest
End the abuse, and choose
To stay or let me rest
I need to know
I
Am as naive as they come
Vulnerable and dumb
You can change me with a word
I'll crash and burn or rise above
You've got me wrapped in chains
But I'll fight through the pain
That's breaking through my skull
'Cuz I am powerless to fight the pull
From you
You pretty little thing
You got me glued, subdued
I'm coiled like a spring
Just cut me loose, diffuse
The tension in my chest
End the abuse, and choose
To stay or let me rest
I need to know
You reside
Behind a wall
Inside my mind
A mile tall
Compelled to climb
But scared to fall
Compelled to climb
But scared to fall away
From you
You pretty little thing
You got me glued, subdued
I'm coiled like a spring
Just cut me loose, diffuse
The tension in my chest
End the abuse, and choose
To stay or let me rest
I need to know
