Your Fearing

Well I moved to the city and there's no peace now
The screams of the sirens, they're all drowning you out
And everyone's scared to death they'll die unknown
We bury our souls for a resume line
We bury our souls for a resume line

I'm freer than time if you ever told me all that's on your mind
We would never leave these train tracks
Pieces of you that I know, don't tell me you're fine
There's something in your eyes that's been tied down too long

There's a band downtown that you're dyin' to see
And I wanna see you smile, but there's a part of me
That wants to ask why when you hear their songs
They mean more to you than the poems I wrote you
They mean more to you than the poems I wrote you

I'm freer than time if you ever told me all that's on your mind
We would never leave these train tracks
Pieces of you that I know, don't tell me you're fine
There's something in your eyes that's been tied down too long

And there's a river somewhere where your love runs new
We're a page in your story that you never saw through
You say it ain't the way that you were born to stay
That we're the best you ever had, well honey that's a shame
That we're the best you ever had, well honey that's a shame

All I ever wanted from you was a simple love
Maybe at the start it was skinny
Bitter of winter finally found a way to bring you down
I'll always hate the way the cold confronts your fearing

Now it's twelve forty-five, I've been up till now
Thinking of the ways, that we're the same
And I'd have never said it then, even if I knew
I'm just terrified of love, but mostly loving you
