Lock me out without

A locking door

Put up your walls and hold your knees on the floor

In the dark of my room and you need me there, but I need you too, won't you

Come on out

My friends are downstairs

And I can't understand why you are scared to meet them all

But then again, we're different people, love

Can we just talk

Without you falling apart

It's not the end of the world

When it turns out

We're not as close to the same as we thought

Can we just say

What's stuck in our ways

It just hurts us both when we let it build up

And it comes out like fire on our breath

Maybe I don't want to be this anymore

Paper-thin walls and a concrete floor

The words bounce off, maybe that's my fault

I say too much

You say nothing at all

Caught your eyes looking down at the floor

The way they do when you're sad and I don't know what for

And I'm supposed to be clear

But it's not clear to me

God, I'm just a man who wants to know how you feel

It's not as easy as we thought it was

Finding myself and falling deeply in love, and I'm not letting you go, and I don't need you to

Change

But god, I just gotta know what's in your head

Can we just talk

Without you falling apart

It's not the end of the world

When it turns out

We're not as close to the same as we thought

Can we just say

What's stuck in our ways

It just hurts us both when we let it build up

And it comes out like fire on our breath

Maybe I don't want to be this anymore

Paper-thin walls and a concrete floor

The words bounce off, maybe that's my fault

I say too much

You say nothing at all

Can we just talk

Without you falling apart

It's not the end of the world

When it turns out

We're not as close to the same as we thought

Can we just say

What's stuck in our ways

It just hurts us both when we let it build up

And it comes out like fire on our breath

Maybe I don't want to be this anymore

Paper-thin walls and a concrete floor

The words bounce off, maybe that's my fault

I say too much

You say nothing at all
