Front Porch Step Lyrics
"Private Fears in Public Places"

So cold is the wind, it blows your hair
So warm is your touch appon my skin.
How tired am I of being scared,
But how awake am I now that I know you're here
Cause I'd rather fight with you
Than laugh with another.
I'd rather freeze in your arms
Than be warm under covers.
And I'd let you hit me
Before I ever let you hit the floor.

And I'd rather choke
Than to breathe in your absence
I'd rather feel your wrath
Than feel another's passion.
And I'd rather die on the day that I give you a kiss
Than spend the rest of my life knowing I never did.

So just hold me
And tell me that I'm everything you need.
Tell me that, that lonely little heart of yours
That I've been dying for ain't out of reach.

So if you're looking for some proof
That there's a heart inside of me,
Then lace your fingers between mine
And you'll see it start to leak.
And I know you're not a crutch
But I can hold you when I stand
Cause I am living for your touch,
But I would die to be your man.

Let me look into your eyes
Like I am searching for your soul
Wrap my arms around your waist
Like they are dying from the cold
Run my fingers through your hair
Like they are water from the drain
Press my lips against your back
Like they could take away its pain.

And to give you everything,
There is nothing I won't do.
Dump my heart into a blender
Just to pour it out to you.
And I know you're feeling tired.
Just let me hold you for a bit.
Dive my face between your thighs until I
Cannot feel my lips.

Well, I know that you think I'm kind of odd
But if your love was a mountain, I swear that I'd climb to the top.
I would tell you "You're lovely and everything I'll ever need,
And I would give you my all if you'd just come
And stand next to me."
