You mention things I dare not wonder
You whisper words my heart can’t say
How I’d love to hold you closer
I would if not for all these chains

(pre-chorus)
And I know that you know that there’s something
I’m not telling you
I’m just a boy who lost his best friend
There’s nothing you can do.

(chorus)
When will you force me to love you?
When will my heart give in?
I know I can’t stay here forever,
But I’m too scared to just jump in.

I see a thousand caring faces
When I’m in bed at night
It’s funny how our fears of darkness
Can turn in to fears of light.

(pre-chorus)
(chorus)

Could you come down?
And wrap your arms around me?
And when I cringe,
Just let me know you won’t let go.

(chorus)
