around my wrists is the tightest grasp
and i realize our love is in my hands
around my waist is the memory of your arms
and i realize you are no longer holding on
locked away is the ability to choose
and i know i have the key
locked away are the doubts i've had
and i don't want to set them free
my circulation is refusing to go
without your love within its flow
missing you has made me numb
of any other feeling i'm forced to overcome
love is behind my back,
tied with my arms.
love is still with me
following close behind.
all i want to do is go forward.
i'm ahead of love,
i'm feeling too strongly.
i'm ahead of you
and now i'm stuck with the key.
but there's no hope to unlock.
there's no love to unlock.
around your eyes are the perfect lines.
locked away are your tears
waiting to be caught.
but i'm already waiting to catch them.
around your finger is a reminder
locked away are your promises
waiting to be trusted
but i've already trusted you.
i've been here all along,
who are you waiting for?
