[Verse 1] I don’t want to feel helpless;
Casting shadows from the glow of my eyes.
I hope the mirror can shed a little light.

I need a measure of meaning
To weave the lace of your heart —
You’ve been living a lie, right from the start.

[Pre-Chorus] I want to scratch at the surface;
I want to live with a purpose.
I don’t know that I’ve ever felt so clever.

[Chorus] If you take my hand,
You could fall into the deep end.
Take my grace and pride
Watch ‘em burn until the fire dies.

[Verse 2] I don’t want to feel lonesome;
Nor dependent on the bite of your buzz.
I lost my focus the moment you were more-than just a blur in my mind.

But I won't — won’t live in your pocket,
Nor a lock-box under your bed.
Lord, I thought I would never love again.

[Pre-Chorus 2] I want to scratch at the surface;
Want to live with a purpose.
I don’t know that I’ve ever felt so clever.

Oh, I want to know, was it worth it to
Kill a garden, in perfect bloom?
I’m holding the vine that you set fire to.

[Chorus 2] If you take my hand,
You could fall into the deep end.
Take my grace and pride
Watch ‘em burn until the fire dies.

[Bridge] As I watch the sea pull away from me —
So you are, my love, as the stars are fixed above.
Our hope, glass in a kaleidoscope;
To dust, of all that I had set in stone.

[Chorus 3] Take my hand,
And you’ll fall into the deep end.
Take my grace and pride
Let ‘em burn until the fire dies.
