Here in this moment my voice is failing me
We’re at the corner; it’s almost time to leave
The streets are crowded, we stand here now and I
Cannot look you in the eye
I tell my secrets I answer anything you ask
Can we just drop it, can I just take this whole thing back
Honestly, honesty and me
Don’t get along from time to time
Oh I talk a lot about a lot but I don’t say a thing that means a thing
This time I’m keeping something in
I’ve given all that I’m willing to give and I’ll keep living with the knowledge
There are things you’ll never know
I cannot bear to be this wide open out here in the freshly fallen snow
Your breath is floating, hanging between us as a mist
My cheeks are burning part from the wind the shame your kiss
It seems to me it never means what I hope
When you pull me in so close
For you’ve had me frozen, you’ve had me held right in your hands
You’ll never notice, you’ll never truly understand
I cannot wait and I cannot stay but I
Cannot find the strength to go
Oh I talk a lot about a lot but I don’t say a thing that means a thing
This time I’m keeping something in
I’ve given all that I’m willing to give and I’ll keep living with the knowledge
There are things you’ll never know
I cannot bear to be this wide open out here in the freshly fallen snow
