Everybody hurts just a little too much
Everybody hurts but it's never enough
It's wonderful to fall; let's love and risk it all
The call to relief overwhelms us
Because we hurt a lot, and we want it to stop
Love is like a rock in the fall
Cool to the touch, but rough when struck blunt
And when struck it wakes us up
Then drenched in sweat we can’t ignore
Not the wound, nor its source
It was love that slammed itself into us
And nearly comatose from its ****** we rebound with distrust
Forevermore we step back, waiting out the strike
Living in timidity of future loves of our lives
For if we commit to love too much, then the strike could destroy us
So we love with half a heart, so as not to be hurt.
So we live safe as we move from stone to stone
But I think we should grab it tight, despite what we fear
I'd rather love just a little too much.
Not enough to prematurely erode the stone
But enough to never slip my hold
So much so that it will only drop if I choose to let it go
Yes it hurts to grab it tight
And it hurts to feel the strike
But holding on firmly is the only way to be sure
Sure its not a flight response
Sure its really what we want
For what gives us our most lumps,may be what’s best for us
Living in fear will always hold us back
So I hold a little too tight
Thinking maybe you might reciprocate and smile
