I'll Take The Lead

alright

i guess five am is my time

for honest thoughts and

when i feel most alive

but this is better when i don't have to think

cause you're here and in my bed we sink

when you whisper the things

that cut my self control in two

and we know that i've spent a lot of nights

with a lot of lonely girls

and with my lack of care and gain of honesty

i assure them, i'm not worth the fight

and with two years down they still can't suffice

for the look you get when you're here lookin at me

and you say you've never had anything with anyone that felt this real

but i couldn't speak and hopefully this will seal the deal

neither have i and i know i never will

except for you

neither have i and i know i never will

except for you
 

all of the numbers, all the lonely girls

take them all

for the first time i'm not the only one in my selfish world

you're the one who makes me fall

and i could give it all to you

if you'd have it

though there's not much left to offer you

but a broken heart, i mean it's something to work with

call me crazy

all my friends do

but i miss you

i can't help this

i've never been one to be honest about how i feel

especially about you

but i put it down cause for you i'd kill

and to get you, anything is the least i would do

and you say you've never had anything with anyone that felt this real

but i couldn't speak and hopefully this will seal the deal

neither have i and i know i never will

except for you

neither have i and i know i never will

except for you

 

i guess i wasn't sure if we'd ever make it here

i guess thats what both you and i feared

now that we are

i pray you never go too far

and if you do

i'll be singing that same old tune

please, just please come back soon

and if you do

i'll be singing that same old tune

please, just please come back soon

though honestly i just don't know if i can bare that again

cause being with out you now

would be just continuing our pointless trend

but you know i wouldn't make a sound

 

now its you and me

making all of these simple memories

that i can't realize the significance of

til i'm forced to go a day without you, love

and your skin against mine

i've never known feelings of this kind

you're making me sing your name

and i trip over my own feet thinking of these things

i carry your face and all of our stories

everywhere i go

and losing you is probably the top of my worries

though i'll never let that show

let's meet here in the middle

cause this time is the time

we'll finish this drawn out riddle

fading city lights late at night

with the music up and the windows down

and it's you who made me fall in love with this old rigid town

and when you fall i'm following

onto the sheets and kissing every part of your gentle body

telling you, just this once, just this time, you gotta trust me

 

and just as anyone could tell you

you just got me somehow

and you can guarantee i'll always see you through

a promise to you is one made to be kept now

just let me give you what i got

we both are aware it's not a lot

but it's more then i can say

i've ever done before today

so lay where you will and i swear to follow

and i'll provide warmth to the parts of your heart

past lovers left hollow
 

the shadows of our bodies dancing on the walls

with the songs that can't even begin to explain

the wind's voice that carries heavily down the halls

and doing anything to feel your lips on any part of me again

and i can feel the chills crawl up your back

when my fingertips slide slowly up your spine

and when i whisper i love you i can feel you relax

so maybe sometime soon i'll get to call you mine

and this love is far from jaded

i think we may have finally made it

reassurance is all i need

you take my hand

i'll take the lead
 

reassurance is all i need

you take my hand

i'll take the lead

i'll take the lead

i'll take the lead this time

for you, and for me
