Falling asleep with your head on my chest
Sleepily arguing over who is the best
“No it’s you” you whispered under your breath
You protest
I could live in this moment with you forever
I can’t pretend I understand the way
You discount every nice thing I say
You’ve been undercover for so long,
Guess you’ve probably always been this way
But it’s too late - I already see you
Ain’t no sense in hiding my dear
Vividly in vibrant color
Your usual spots, they won’t work here
But when it’s all said and done
I’m not going anywhere, promise
Nothing could outrun
This fire in me, I’m not scared
I walk this road so delicately
Honestly my heart is out on my sleeve
Just promise you’ll be gentle with me
I’m a warrior but I love so deeply
I swear to god when I’m near you I feel weightless
I don’t know what I expected but it wasn’t this
I don’t believe in jesus christ, but I believe in you
I just know that I was meant to know you
You look in the mirror and see a fractured soul
You are so much more than flesh and bones
You feel like sunlight, you’ve got heart of gold
What a wonder it is to be truly known
Did you think you were a secret agent?
Did you think you could hide out forever?
Or were waiting for someone to find you
For someone to see your wonder
It’s a wonder you’ve been alone for so long
I swear you’ll never be alone as long as I’m around
Cause it’s too late - I already see you
Ain’t no sense in hiding my dear
Vividly in vibrant color
Your usual spots, they won’t work here
But when it’s all said and done
I’m not going anywhere, promise
Nothing could outrun
This fire in me, I’m not scared
I walk this road so delicately
Honestly my heart is out on my sleeve
Just promise you’ll be gentle with me
I’m a warrior but I love so deeply
