A Hell of a Lot Like You

I couldn't stand to stay
So I drove all the way to nowhere
I know I didn't take the high road
But I was trying, I swear
I talked to the mirror
You might have well have been on the other side
But somehow it seemed we still
Couldn't see eye to eye
We were brought up nearly the same
By which I mean we were brought down
And it's a long walk uphill
When you start halfway underground
So meet me in the middle the sky is falling
And filled with broken glass
We both got more than a handful to carry
So let me lend you my back

Could you step up and fight for me
If I fight to stop fighting you
I'm senseless, defensive, and stubborn
And a hell of a lot like you
Could you put up your white flag
If I put down my walls
I've made some brutal mistakes
But you're not one of them, love

We can both go broke
Talking about the things that will never change
We can't buy time
But it's worth it just the same
I'd like to show off my armor
But my arms are admittedly weak
And it's been a week straight from hell
So just tell me what you need
Could you take control
Reassure my anxious mind
It's a flawed way of knowing I'm loved
But I need intense, untamed, and wild
And I know you better than I know myself
And you know all that i am
So if I ever leave this place for good
It will hurt like hell but you'll understand

Could you step up and fight for me
If I fight to stop fighting you
I'm senseless, defensive, and stubborn
And a hell of a lot like you
Could you put up your white flag
If I put down my walls
I've made some brutal mistakes
But you're not one of them, love

So let me fight for you
And you keep fighting for me
We're senseless, defensive, and stubborn
But I'm here unconditionally
Could we put up our white flags
Could we put down our walls
We've both made some brutal mistakes
But you'll never be one of them, love
