Some people are afraid of love
and falling from unknown heights
I ride the tallest and fastest rollercoasters
over and over again
but can't bring myself
to eat in front of those I fall so quickly for
I'm not afraid of falling
I'll even take the jump
I'm afraid of sleeping with the door open
because someone might see the real me
I told you I was busy
that night you asked me to go ice skating
When really I couldn't decide what would hurt more-
breaking a promise to my friends
or watching you watch me fail
You sleep with the door closed, too
I know because I'm behind it with you
On Friday nights
when late night thoughts and beer
make the perfect mixed drink
to sip on while getting to know someone
Even though I still don't eat in front of you
You've seen the way I sleep,
the way I look when I wake up,
tasted my hungover mouth,
and felt every inch of me
I think I'm ready to go ice skating now
Maybe even with dinner before
But let's keep the door closed when we sleep,
I like it better that way
