I use to be the one to keep everyone at arm's length
It was not hard and required no strength
I never wanted to let anyone close to me
Inside my head is not something anyone should see
I have been so good at keeping people out
The truth of my life no one knows about
Even those that should be the closest
I still keep them out, I still resist
I don't know how it happened or even when
Somehow you managed to just walk right in
You made me feel things I didn't know I could feel
I always thought my life I would remain concealed
I wasn't planning on ever opening completely to anyone
Before you I could easily tell you who knew me, none
Now you have my heart, I know this without a doubt
Words of love, feelings, and emotions I can't help but to spout
You have always been open with me
But not completely because you are not free
No you keep me at arm's length to protect yourself
Thinking about us while you make room on your bookshelf
I know you occasionally let me close to you
Letting me be part of you crazy wonderful zoo
Then you take a step back to put distance between us
I know it is just our situation and I don't want to fuss
I just want you to know that I am here
And I constantly just want you to be near
I am open and vulnerable to heartbreak
I know just what is at stake
I can't help where I am at with my emotions
Evidently they are deeper than the oceans
I love how you make me feel right now
So I just want to help you find your lost cow
You keep doing what you need to do
And I will be here to continue to woo
I never want these feelings to stop
Right now, today, this minute, the world, I'm on top.
