babe, let’s go inside, I wanna talk, I wanna see your scars and the way you’ve walked, I’m gonna try to listen to your pain and the cause, I wanna get to know you like you never thought it’s gonna happen in your life, ’cause nothing is certain, but I wanna go learn about you, leaving nothing uncertain. I know I still got scars deep from the past that are hurting, but they start healing when you’re here and I stop feeling the burden, you know I know I’m not really ready for feeling love again, but I wanna get closer to you and hold your hand, wanna look out the window and listen to the rain, thunder roars among the storm, but it calms my brain, god, I think that I’m falling, not again, please, I beg you, think I’m losing connection, please don’t go before I do, boy, you caught me off guard with the way you talk, feel like you see through walls and the locks I got, I’m tryna not to let you in too far, but you knock— I wanna trust you more, but that’s a tougher spot, it’s gonna take a little time ’cause my heart is guarded, I’ve been through some fires, yeah, I barely even started, and I got some ghosts that keep me cold in the darkness, but when you speak soft, the fear in me starts to disarm— it’s like I wish that I could promise I’m not scared of this, but I still flinch when it feels like bliss, don’t mean I don’t wanna sit through the silence, hear your voice with the rain and the sirens— god, I feel like I’m leaning, not sure yet, but I want to, feel you pulling me slowly, please don’t rush— I’ll catch up too.
