Sometimes I wish there was a volume **** for my mind,
Because some nights it's on full blast and I get overwhelmed,
Its nights like these when it's 2 a.m and the noise is deafening,
Its nights like these when I can't fall asleep because my thoughts are set on a loop,

But sometimes, when I'm with you, it turns off,
You touch me and all of the noise is absorbed by your fingertips,
Your arms create a soundproof wall surrounding my mind,
Its nights like these that you trace your lips across my skin and whisper "I love you",
Its nights like these that I forget all of the pain,
And for a moment,
For a night,
Everything is quiet.

I want you to bring me to all of the beautiful places in the world,
And I know its selfish but I want you to be looking at me, not the view,
I just want to feel loved and warm inside,
And I want to be sure that you wont move on and find someone new

I'm losing myself,
The girl I've always thought myself to be is fading away,
I've taken my personality and stored it on an ancient, dusty shelf,
And I always say that it's just for today,

But today turns into tomorrow,
And tomorrow turns into weeks,
Months,
Where I put myself aside because I would rather feel nothing than feel weak,

The numbness is scary,
Scary because its comfortable,
Because for once I dont have to feel weary,
Like I'm falling down a rabbit hole,

Today is one of those days,
That will turn into tomorrow,
That will turn into weeks,
And months,
So that I don't feel weak.

Frigid are the waters in the depth of my soul,
Creatures unknown lurk beneath the surface,
I sit on an island in the middle of the lake, waiting,
For someone to show up with a purpose,

I'm waiting, oh I'm waiting,
For someone oh so bold,
I'm waiting, oh I'm waiting,
For someone willing to brave the cold,

And secretly I'm hoping,
That person might be you,
For braving your cold waters in return,
Is something I could do.
