Boxing Gloves
Open up
To the knocking at the screen
I'm old enough
To know the difference in-between
What you want
And what you seem to need
Because I am just a man
Calming down? Well no I can't
And I can't get you out from under my skin
You make my head dumb when you step in
Twist around this house
The boxing gloves jab at my lips
Slip into your sin and let it take you back home
Feel a little more alive and a little less alone
I just want your words I don't care if they hurt
I want them leaning on my chest and pulling at my shirt, she said
Close enough
To know the feeling of your skin
Deep enough
To know the hurt that you are in
Frame of mind
To get you to give in
Because you were not my plan
Calming down well no I can't
Pre-Chorus]
You can find me in the corners
Of your disenchanted eyes
And if you decide to let me in I'll be here
The truth about us living
So hard to stay alive
But if you decide to let me in that crooked mind
To the knocking at the screen
I'm old enough
To know the difference in-between
What you want
And what you seem to need
Because I am just a man
Calming down? Well no I can't
And I can't get you out from under my skin
You make my head dumb when you step in
Twist around this house
The boxing gloves jab at my lips
Slip into your sin and let it take you back home
Feel a little more alive and a little less alone
I just want your words I don't care if they hurt
I want them leaning on my chest and pulling at my shirt, she said
Close enough
To know the feeling of your skin
Deep enough
To know the hurt that you are in
Frame of mind
To get you to give in
Because you were not my plan
Calming down well no I can't
Pre-Chorus]
You can find me in the corners
Of your disenchanted eyes
And if you decide to let me in I'll be here
The truth about us living
So hard to stay alive
But if you decide to let me in that crooked mind
