There's a gap in my defenses,
There's a hole in my guard,
I'm pulled to you like a moth to flame,
And your smiles don't make it hard

My head won't stop spinning,
You've got my feet off the ground,
I'm walking with my head in clouds,
And there's no way I'm coming down

Letting my head go this time,
Cause my heart knows what to do,
And if it happens to get broken,
I'll pick the pieces up with you

If the sun doesn't shine
Quite as bright as it used to,
I'll remind you how great rain can be
When soaking wet, I kiss you

Whispers sent through the air,
I'm just wondering where this game can go,
One player just learning the rules,
The other a jaded old pro

Letting my head go this time,
Cause my heart knows what to do,
And if it happens to get broken,
I'll pick the pieces up with you

Echoes of years spent longing,
I don't know what I can do,
Because I heard your voice again,
And remembered how much I miss you

Your face is lightning seared in my head,
Your laughter rays of sunshine,
Your tears slash through my world,
And I recall when you were mine

Letting my head go this time,
Cause my heart knows what to do,
And if it happens to get broken,
I'll pick the pieces up with you

Every minute I'm waiting,
My heart beating steady and slow,
Summer days seem far away,
When my sight is filled with snow

Thinking of you before I sleep,
Your voice calls to me in dreams,
Soft-spoken words remind me that
Little is as it seems

Letting my head go this time,
Cause my heart knows what to do,
And if it happens to get broken,
I'll pick the pieces up with you

I'll let the years roll off of me,
I'll be as patient as solid stone,
I'll treasure the days I've spent dreaming,
Just for a chance not to be alone
