I just want to hold your hand
But I don't know the words to say
Handbooks still in the mail
Relationships: For the Dumb-Ay
And my heart it has gone missing
Post it notes on bathroom walls
Reading: Have you seen this girl?
Who caused this tumble and fall?
But there's never any answer
My mind leaves when you are near
As butterflies wrack my chest.
With their insecure fears.
Proving that I'm the same old girl
with the same old silly doubts
Who doesn't trust her feelings
And keeps shutting others out
But I'll try to let you in
Because I'm tired of building walls
I feel like I'm constantly on the edge
But too afraid to fall
And you're standing there beside me
Yelling "jump" like it's no big deal
While I'm terrified of taking off
Into the abyss of what I feel.
Because rejection is still possible
And I'm bad at saying goodbye
I'm not the type to pack things up
Just wave and sail on by.
I stay for the moments that suck
And for the moments only we can understand
I stay because I want to be with you
Because I still want to hold your hand.
