One foot in front of the other baby
Weaving my way toward you
I know a lot about self protection
But this kind of thinking is new
I've been trying to tone down the old voices
That make me jump at a false alarm
And I get dizzy with the smell of fear in my face
Trying to live unzipped and unarmed
Trust
Mid-air into the big leap
Trust
Head-long into the clean sweep
I spend a lot of time trying to be clever
When the simple truth will do
Underneath all of this hot air lives
An unruly passion for you
Don't want to be married at fifty paces
I want to crawl inside your skin
And let you get that close to me
No matter what shape I'm in
No matter where we've been
Chorus
Bridge:
Love could fill an empty cup with a slow leak
Love like tar all over my bare feet
