Ripped To Ribbons

Before I go I need to know just what it is that makes you tick.

Makes you want, makes you thirst, please tell me all of it.

I've been shooting in the dark trying to find lessons behind these scars.

Most times the math comes out to picking up and moving on.

Spent a summer on the road trying to rid you from my bones

Bar to bar in rusted cars, driving up and down the coast

Boston feels like Vegas if you don't leave the hotel

Those days I spent with you I swear to God that time stood still.

There's so much more to you than what you're letting on

If you're scared of what you're feeling, well you're not the only one.

I've been ripped to ribbons, torn apart, each time I fell in love.

Every minute since is just more bricks on walls that I put up.

There's so much more to me than what i'm letting on.

I'll do my best to open up if you promise not to run.

I'm not asking for forever or some ridiculous thing like that,

Just a chance to see where this could go, I got a feeling it could last.

Balanced on a beam while pulling on a tug of war.

My stomach turned like a washing machine when you walked back through that door.

Someone else had took my confidence and put it high up on a shelf

Now I'm second guessing everything I thought I knew about myself

But I know

There's so much more to you than what you're letting on

If you're scared of what you're feeling, well you're not the only one.

I've been ripped to ribbons, torn apart, each time I fell in love.

Every minute since is just more bricks on walls that I put up.

There's so much more to me than what i'm letting on.

I'll do my best to open up if you promise not to run.

I'm not asking for forever or some ridiculous thing like that,

Just a chance to see where this could go, I got a feeling it could last.
