so let go, jump in
oh well, whatcha waiting for
it's alright
'cause there's beauty in the breakdown

sleep eludes me
i don't know why
maybe because my mind keeps straying to you
maybe because my arms keep straining to reach you?

i sit in silence
searching for words that might get through to you
hoping some way i might be able to push some of the barriers aside
break down some of your walls, find the chink in the armour you wear so proudly

i know you see me
i know you feel me pushing myself to the limit
struggling to get a hold of you
hoping this time you won't turn away, you won't push me away

sometimes i get to the point where i wanna just give up
but then i see you very discreetly egging me on
a little glimpse of what you so preciously keep inside you
a small fissure, a slight opening. . .

knowing that in some small way i'm starting to wear you down. . .
so worth all of it. . .
