Shelter

I can feel it coming now
That heavy winter’s snow
That drives me deep inside myself
To hide
When the summer’s light and warmth
Goes south to spread its love
I can’t help but lie awake at night
And cry

And the world just seems too daunting
And the memories all seem haunting
And I can’t find which way’s up and which way’s down
And my heart can’t sense the trouble
Seeing danger working double
All I need’s a one way ticket to a new, exciting town

So wrap yourself around me
Let the night fall on our souls
And let the pain we suffer lose its sense of self-control
And in this wild ride called life
When the world can do us harm
I know I’ll find my shelter in the safety of your arms

Your eyes are constellations
Each guides a different path
I can’t decide which way I’m meant
To take
The brighter one seems frightening
The darker one walks smooth
And the longer that I pause, I fear
I’ll break

And the moonlight helps me see
The very deepest parts of me
Parts that angle toward the path that causes fear
But that road that shines seductive
Hides the fact that it’s destructive
And it’s hard to choose the way when no way seems to be sincere

So wrap yourself around me
Let the night fall on our souls
And let the pain we suffer lose its sense of self-control
And in this wild ride called life
When the world can do us harm
I know I’ll find my shelter in the safety of your arms

My nights seem far less scary
When your light ignites my way
And my days no longer give me cause for pain
Your spirit made my heart its home
And your laughter stole my breath
And your love, it courses through my every vein

I’ll wrap myself around you
As the night falls on our souls
And take away the pain that tries to break your self-control
Because in this wild ride called life
When the world can do you harm
I hope you’ll find your shelter in the safety of my arms
