IOU

These days I crave the touch

In debt to a previous crutch

God mildly cracked my bar to help me sleep through dreams that I lost

I want to make peace with you

It's been too long

And you've held me in your grip

Worn out my past fears

Each night when I return

And look out the backdoor alone

Count every star so bright, awaiting there for a new dawn

Oh, won't you make peace with me?

It's been so long

That I've held you in my grip

War be gone and come make peace with this

It's been too long

That we've been held enough

This war now be done

Holding out my hand to open the door

Don't need to beg

Weakness of men that I stray

Nervous I spoke too much

In doubt with all I once loved

Tried to fill the space that I now find is the reason I make

I want to make peace with you

It's been too long

And you've held me in your grip

Worn out my past fears

Oh, won't you make peace with me?

It's been so long

That I've held you in my grip

So come make peace
