lyrics

Watch your fear
Don’t watch it step over everything
In your eyes, in your mind
There’s something there that’s got me holding you
Watch your heart
Watch it grow and show that character’s what got you here
Sinister things might slip in through the seams but cannot hold you down

All we know that the distance between us shows
Like in what we see with sunlight and pixels
Won’t you show me how the city lights are shining into your room,
‘Cause they don’t feel much like hiding tonight

Hear your thoughts building walls
Just confused from everything in the city now
I’ll make it there somehow
But time crawls slower and slower since you’ve had my attention
{You’re gone for now}
Can you fear your own heart?
Can you care from a distance, like this is?

All we know that the distance between us shows
Like in what we see with sunlight and pixels
Won’t you show me how the city lights are shining into your room,
‘Cause they don’t feel much like hiding tonight
Now when you close your eyes just find the peace inside
But don’t forget to feel

Watch your fear
Don’t watch it step over everything
