Reaching Out

feelings growing, despite the stakes are high
heart skipping beats at an increasing pace
this is exactly the way I feel, I cannot lie
wishing for a moment to just hold your face

crumbling underneath the weight of things
mind endless swimming, a life jacket in sight
won't you help me, help me grow some wings
in your arms, your gaze, just hold me tight

never let me go, I might fall far this time
in my darkest secrets I hide away within
up the pace, speeding I race, onward I climb
there you are again to gently lift up my chin

Torn between and everything, will I hold?
Stronger and fighting to brace the attack
at times, my blood drains away and it's so cold
if I go in too far can I ever come back?

Veiled eyes do see a lighter part inside
this fate, this chartered ship set to sail
so why do I sometimes go back in and hide?
perhaps by the end I will somehow prevail

tingles and fuzzy thoughts, I float away
when I'm talking to you the world is alright
deep breaths, I feel turned upside down today
I won't go down, I won't fail without a fight!
