File Under: Ground (Take Me In)

I have got a colorful past written on my wall
It doesn't really matter at all
Such a strange game to play
I go out of my way
Just to stamp it out
It doesn't really matter at all

I wanna live in a way
That I dread the grave
That my bones will wed
As little as my own bed

A smarter man than me told me
"There's no bravery, just degrees of fear"
But I fear that we're incapable

Take me into your arms
It's amazing here where you are
Don't you wake me
Make me melt into your arms again tonight
Take me into your arms
Send me, baby, higher and higher
Don't wake me
Make me melt into your arms again tonight

I have seen a paradox of people walk out that door
It doesn't really matter at all
Where's the kid who went out of his way
Just to know your name?
I never should've bothered

I'm taking a deep hard look
At the bald-faced crook
Too rich to last
Too famous, too fast, oh

A wiser man than me told me
"Son, you gotta be who you wanna be
'Cause the rest is just a spectacle"

Take me into your arms
It's amazing here where you are
Don't you wake me
Make me melt into your arms again tonight
Take me into your arms
Send me, baby, higher and higher
Don't wake me
Make me melt into your arms again tonight

If all we are is stepping stones
Cast them all away
No one here will follow you down
Throw it all away (go!)

Take me into your arms
It's amazing here where you are
But don't wake me
Make me melt into your arms again tonight
Take me into your arms
Send me, baby, higher and higher
Don't wake me
Make me melt into your arms again tonight

Maybe we can start over and
Maybe this could be possible, baby
You'll never have to go anywhere alone

Take me into your arms
It's amazing here where you are
Don't you wake me
Make me melt into your arms again tonight (yo!)
