Afraid

Waiting here some days, and looking inside
You can't live your life on your own love
Well, not all the time

I need somebody, from outside of me
To come and give me all the things that i have used up
Wrapping other peoples sin

So afraid to begin, so afraid to start again
Lost in time, held in argument
Weathers fine as long as you don't speak

The guilt that I've gathered
Is like my phrase book of doubt
Over your shoulder and far away
The pressure mounts

Now that you've said you will love that little girl for life
Ah, did you really understand what you were giving away
And how your soul knows you

So afraid to begin, so afraid to start again
Lost in time, held in argument
Weather's fine, as long as you don't speak

The shadows stretch the floor
And I don't seem to know what I'm here for
There's a moment in Noah's arc when panic sets in
You're afraid of the dark, so afraid

So afraid to begin, so afraid to start again
Lost in time, held in argument
Weathers fine, as long as you don't speak
As long as you don't speak
As long as you don't speak your mind
