Fear Knot

They say I am a fool
To want to be close to you but
No matter how hard I try I cannot stray
Whether wicked or willing
Whether boiling hot or chilling
I only pray you can be patient please and wait

How can I possibly explain: I am afraid of you
And could it possibly be that you're a little bit afraid of me too
Or am I asking for
Too much charity
Please don't fall but willingly into my trap

I set my watch and check my pulse
Twitching nervously I wonder at your thoughts
Close my eyes tight to shut out the room
You keep your face plain while I contemplate
The thoughts come, but the tongue cannot articulate
The heart goes thump against the ribs; it's too soon

How can I possibly explain: I am afraid of you
And could it possibly be that you're a little bit afraid of me too
Or am I asking for
Too much charity
Please don't fall but willingly into my trap

I'll fall
Can't you see how I've waited
So long
The sun is setting on my heart

They still sustain I am a fool
But it seems I can't get too far from you
And I am a better man for the trials
Whether you planned this from the start
Or if you knew eventually you'd break my heart
You were the salt for the stew set on the fire

How can I possibly explain: I am afraid of you
And could it possibly be that you're a little bit afraid of me too
Or am I asking for
Too much charity
Please don't fall but willingly into my trap
