Against the Wall

I've been traveling with this heart of mine Looking for what I can't find You look like the devil but you've appeared And I want to draw you near I want to draw you near Well, my mama was pretty and she taught me well And daddy he'd never kiss and tell With love they scrubbed and they shined my soul And I, I learned to blossom slow I learned to blossom slow They told me that freedom is a fragile thing You might slip through the ice chasing after spring But girl, don't ever hold your tongue Cause you'll regret every word that goes unsung You've been traveling with a wounded heart Shooting arrows in the dark You drown your worries and you burn your pain And I could be a soothing rain Could be a soothing rain But desire is like a loaded gun It feels so good at night, but I'm bled dry when morning comes So I learned to keep it all inside So it's hard to touch the secrets that I hide Well, you pinned me up against the wall And for a minute I felt my armor fall A lonely boy with a heart for hire Found a girl to set his soul on fire To set his soul on fire But freedom, it's a tricky thing You can travel this world like a hurricane And when everything's torn up outside You will always find shelter in my eyes Traveling with this heart of mine
