I still remember all those early moves
All the raw, raw fire and the timid proof of things we’d hidden or always knew of love
Later I spent all those distant nights driving back and forth watching your apartment light burning on and on and on
I felt emptiness for real for the first time
Wait...
I’d wait...
For the scars to heal but they never went away
But I’d still give it all away
I’d still give it all away
If I ever get close enough
I’d still give it all away
I’d still give it all away
If I ever get close enough to you
I begged you to stay, even though you came home early in the morning
You showered and you cowered in the hallway and I knew that things would never be the same between us
Yeah, I was always trying just to change you, reshape and arrange you
Into something neither of us recognized
Somewhere I was trying to rewrite you in the lines of a bullshit image with nothing in it
But wait...
I’ll wait... for the scars to heal but they never went away
But I’d still give it all away
I’d still give it all away
If I ever get close enough to you
I’d still give it all away
I’d still give it all away
If I ever get close enough to you
Oh no… no matter how I reach for you
Will I reach you now dear?
Or will it ever be the same?
Will it ever be the same…
But I’d still give it all away
I’d still give it all away
If I ever get close enough to you
I’d still give it all away
I’d still give it all away
If I ever get close enough to you
Oh no… no matter how I reach for you
Will I reach you now dear?
