Crashing Into You

You laugh and my hands

Forget how to move

Trip on my words

Like my tongue’s got the flu

You lean in closer

Ask what I’m thinking

My brain pulls the plug

And my heart starts sprinting

I’m crashing into you

Like a wave

Like a wave I can’t undo

Every glance hits like the truth

I’m burning in the bright of you

Can’t hide it

Can’t play cool

I’m crashing into you

Into you

You tell me stories

’bout your messed-up days

I bite my lip

So I don’t give it away

That I’d fight your monsters

One by one

Hold up the sky

Till you see the sun

If you ever feel small

I’ll shout your name

Over every wall [crowd shout]

If you ever lose faith

I’ll stay

I’ll stay

Front row in your hurricane

---

There’s a room in my head

With the lights ripped out

Bare floor

Cold air

Every corner full of doubt

I pace that cage

Count the cracks in the wall

Every quiet little flaw

Every almost

Every fall

I wear this crown of shadows

Heavy on my skull

But it’s mine

It’s mine

And I won’t stay dull

I am more than all these voices

Dragging at my feet

I walk the edge of my own darkness

And it walks behind me

Some days it’s louder

Than the crowd at my door

Old ghosts

Old names

Scratched deep in the floor

I feel the pull

Like a tide on my spine

But I plant both boots

Draw a line

Draw a line

[low vocal register] Let it rise

Let it roar

All the hurt

I tried to store

Turn the whisper

To a battle cry

If I’m haunted

I’ll haunt back tonight [crescendo]
