Things to Tell

How can I tell you how you
Caught me off guard with your heart
I need a little time
To believe in love

Some of these thoughts don't add up
To rational black and white
Wishing right now to erase them
And start again

See, I need you, I need us
And to believe in love
I need truth
And not just the hard answer
I need to, I need to tell you
The things I'm afraid to

So, don't leave me far in the distance
Measuring time isn't right
The cause and effect of what you did
When you walked in my life

Only spells danger to be vulnerable
And I wonder
If your wounds will heal mine
But just in case I may need a little time

I need you, I need us
And to believe in love
I need truth
And not just the hard answer
And I need to, I need to tell you
The things I'm afraid to
Oh, yeah, yeah

Oh, well... tell me that you'll stay
Tell me you won't walk away
Even if I take a while

Also tell me that you'll be there
Tell me that you need me
Even if this is hard to do 'cause I

I need you, I need us
And to believe in love
I need truth
And not just the hard answer
I need to, I need to tell you
The things I'm afraid to
Because falling again isn't easy
And baby, this may take a little time
Mmm...
