Can I get a little taste of your lips so I feel alive?

Can you offer up the same uncertainty that I define?

Are you up for keeping in touch once a month or twice a year?

Can you handle regret and a lack of will to persevere?

This apathy will haunt me over and over and over…

So when will I wake up?

Please pinch me I don’t feel a thing.

I’ve got a hand of wish and one of chance,

Don’t bother, it’s enough to get me through it.

I close my eyes and roll a set of loaded dice, I’m sure.

As convincing as a shot in the dark could be

I’ll keep doing what I love with a stab at integrity.

This is for you, 

this is for me, 

this is for everything that ever made me see, 

and I'm planning my escape right now. 

This is to truth, 

this is belief, 

this is for everything that ever made me sing, 

and I'm planning my escape right now. 

But what if I was wrong?

What if I should stay?

Would you let me hold my breath, tell me there's nothing more to say?

Or would you change? Become disgraced? 

Say, "Boy, there's nothing I hate more than seeing talent go to waste"?

I'll take my time with everything.

I'll take my time, and you can show me where to go.

You helped me to find my voice again.
