lyrics

Lyrics:

Will you get up and go outside
Stop the world spinning in your mind
Will you step forward on this path
Or are you paralyzed by the past

There’s a sadness in this place
I trace the wrinkles on her sheets
She pulls the shades over her eyes
But I’m not sure if I should leave

She might need me when the light crests east
Rest her head upon my breast
I’d love to stay beside her always
Fix this hole in her sleeve
But am I just a temporary comfort
In this stranger’s time of need

Hesitation in my mind
It's that word between yes and no
It's that move between stay and go
It’s that space between what you want and what you know
Hesitation in my mind

If I reach to her, will she pull away
If I wait to touch, will it be too late
All my life waiting for the right time
But she’s not giving me a sign

I want to touch her lips with mine
Feel electric down my spine
My switch is open, I'm on fire
But she is broken at the wire

It’s going to be night for a long time
It’s going to be night for awhile

Hesitation in my mind
It's that word between yes and no
It's that move between stay and go
It’s that space between what you want and what you know
Hesitation in my mind
