The Hill

I could be the person that you want me to be
The strength inside your fingers or the slur in your speech
If you let me, I could be the one
I could be the stranger that you see in your sleep
Or the reason that you lie behind the hole in your teeth
If you let me, I could see the sun

How do you learn to say what I've done is enough?
The friction is quite alright as far as I am concerned
When it's time I will let you in

I could be the person that you need me to be
I could sweep the ground from beneath your feet
If you let me, I could be the one
In the background, in silence, with a lover to kill
Take me back to that age when your love was a thrill and you let me in
But I shut the door

Your tightrope, it breaks when you bend the truth
And I find, it's better to lie than lose
You know, I won't ever let this die
And I feel your heart always disagrees with your words
It tends to take sides with me
You know, I won't ever let you down

When it's time I will let you in
When it's time I will let you in
When it's time I will let you in
