Petrified

Tripping over my tongue trying to find the words to describe
How quickly you get me humming and hissing and running to be by your side
Slipping into my skin, you get to skip through the maze where I hide
Lucky boy I've welcomed you in equal parts, in desire and petrified

I'm hoping that you read the way my eyes can speak
When I can't talk to you because my voice is weak
From feeling all the feelings that you send through me
From healing all the wounds that I had left to bleed

You warned me right from the start this kind of thing is not your forte
But I was helplessly hopeful and hungry you'd prove yourself wrong just to stay

Now you don't want to read the way my eyes can speak
And I can't talk to you because my voice is weak
From feeling all the feelings that you sent through me
From trying to heal the wound that you just left on me

But maybe I was rushing out
Took a T to get my mind straight
I'll see you when I see you
I'll breathe you in and feel you out so I can last throughout the drought
