lyrics

I was covering my accent
Imitation language
Found all my lies came out of instinct
It's all an act as not to loose him
Am I waiting here in vain?
For certainty to come?
I'm so scared of being scared
So tired of being lonely

Someone please
tell me what it means
that I only want him
in the in-between

And I'm pulled by the earth
Towards him
Towards him
Thought it was love that kept me caged
I blamed the arms that kept me safe

And I've come to no conclusions
I'm just sorry for the storms
I'm flawed I'm only human
My weathers uncontrollable
And I have never loved him
The way I love him now
Almost out of secrets
Nothing left to hide

Someone please
tell me what it means
that I'm scared of the man
he's on his knees

And I'm pulled by the earth
Towards him
Towards him
Thought it was love that kept me caged
I blamed the arms that kept me safe
And I'm pulled by the earth
Towards him
Towards him
Thought it was love that kept me caged
I blamed the arms that kept me safe

And we caught it
A scripted story for the wounded
Saw the anchor and the bird play out their parts
Thought I'd lost it
Thought the man he held me hostage
Like a caged bird held from flight
