I wanted you to know
In case you weren't sure
I ain't going anywhere
(still faithfully pinned down)
I need you here with me
To narrate all i see
And freshen up my air
(breathe in when you breathe out)
I find myself adrift along the years sometimes
(pulling the days apart)
To shake the pins and needles
That have been wearing me away
Till something comes over me
Shaking me wide awake
Cause i've been staring at a void where something is supposed to be
I need you to lean in close
To cover my freezing skin
And promise me there's something underneath
I've given you my heart
To carry like your own
As i hope you still recall
(or has it been too long)
If something's broken down
I trust you'll let me know
Cause lately i've been wondering if it beat at all
(too much to drag along)
I found myself adrift along the years again
(pulling the days apart)
To shake the pins and needles
That have been wearing me away
Chorus
Even as you call my name
I'm falling fast asleep
If i stay out for awhile
I pray my soul to keep
