Your face is a criminal
who robs me of sleep
and while I take pills for balance
I can't help but stumble

When I feel alive I get nervous
My words stutter and stammer
and your eyes make me wander
from the only place I feel safe

The heart wants what it wants
regardless of reason
and a sense of security
has no place in my bones

I used to hide in the basement
and tape up all of the windows
With eyes closed, I would wait
as storms passed overhead

You lured me out from the darkness
against my own better judgement
whispering words from the past
that I was desperate to hear

but all of the stars disappeared
as we walked by the ocean
and when the hurricane hit
I just wasn't prepared
