I've been tripping over my own two feet since I got here,
and even in my thoughts these situations still somehow seem to appear
but I've gotten here
despite my fears and weary arms
spent from balancing myself between
the life I live
and who you need me to be
and from what I've seen, it's
quite a close call, as we have both been miserably mistaken many times before our hearts would collide.

it's your tenderness that keeps me here,
the heat of your breath warming my ear
as your whispers of love tickle behind my eyes,
you've climbed through my heart into my mind.
