Again

I still remember the last fall
My bones have healed all wrong
But these arms still ache to hold
What I'm so scared will bite
I know I swore no more
Trust no one in this war
But before I wall the doors
And feel nothing at all

I want to know what love feels like again
To fall asleep inside that burning pool
I want to touch that wire once again
And know it was all worth it in the end

Everybody is dancing here
And my drink's getting warm
A restless shadow keeps following me
The man I once used to be
I know I swore no more,
But I'm growing numb and cold
Yet I'm built on tender stone
Can't shake that siren call

I want to know what love feels like again
To fall asleep inside that burning pool
I want to touch that wire once again
And know it was all worth it in the end

Where are you tonight?
Are you out there trying to find me, just as well?
Have I ever passed your face on these empty streets?
Has your name been on my lips a thousand times?
Am I a fool to still believe you might exist?
Or are you just a ghost that I am cursed to chase?

I want to know what love feels like again
To fall asleep inside that burning pool
I want to touch that wire once again
To know it was all worth it in the end
To hear a whisper cool above the crowd
That leads me at last home to you

Home to you
Home to you
