Lyrics

[Intro]

I-I-I

I-I-I

[Verse 1]

I'm trying, but still, I close my eyes

The dreaming, bringing his face to mine

(Lock the door)

The constant buzzing all through the night

The fighting rips me all up inside

(On the floor)

I pace, I run my mouth

I pray and wait

I cross out his name on the page

[Chorus]

(How long 'til), this washes away?

(How long 'til), my body is safe?

(How long 'til), I walk in the light?

(How long 'til), this heart isn't mine?

[Verse 2]

The rise and fall of his chest on me

I'm trying, but still, it's all I see

The violent current of energy

I hide it away and underneath

(Lock the door)

I shake

I promise every day to change

I cross out his name on the page

[Chorus]

(How long 'til), this washes away?

(How long 'til), my body is safe?

(How long 'til), I walk in the light?

(How long 'til), this heart isn't mine?

[Bridge]

Take this wildness away, ah

And away, ah

And away, ah

[Instrumental]

I'm trying, but still, I close my eyes

The dreaming, bringing his face to mine

(Out the door)

I pace, I run my mouth

I pray to change

I cross out his name on the page

[Chorus]

(How long 'til), this washes away?

(How long 'til), my body is safe?

(How long 'til), this heart isn't mine?

[Outro]

I-I-I-I just want him in my arms, hey

I-I-I

I-I-I
