Structure + Lyrics 

Verse 

still sitting there, with your legs crossed 
not paying attention to me 
and if we talk, i'm just curious 
will this end up like it always does? 

Pre-Chorus 

Chorus 

it's all the wrong i've done, all the wrong i'll do, that keeps me from trying 
that keeps me quiet... 

Verse 

throw out your arms, to each side 
it's easier to let things go 
and when we talk, i think what we say 
it's questions then silence and silent we remain 

Pre-Chorus 

Chorus / Feedback Guitar Solo 

it's all the wrong i've done, all the wrong i'll do, that keeps me from trying 
keeps me from calling you 
something i just found out 
something you know by now 
hope makes you so strong 
strength keeps you alone, far away
