Even at the bottom of midnight when you've watched me come undone, even under cover of daylight When I've buttoned up my tongue, I'm living in a world of stage fright, while you wait to see me undefended, not pretending now. So put your arms around this hollow like a castle made of sand. Put a wall between this sorrow and the riches in my hands. It's about as far as I go to let you see my heart again; it walks beside this frozen road. Slow down, keep your eyes on me. Slow down, cause you're almost free and all I want, yeah, all I need to say: it's not so far away. It's not so far away. So high that you get over and closer than your breath. So low that you can't get under the moment of your death. I did not come here for saving, I'm just trying to accept the way it is, the way it is. Slow down, keep your eyes on me. Slow down, cause you're almost free and all I want, yeah, all I need to say: you're not so far away. You're not so far away. You float along inside [indistinct] You float along and fall away. Float along [indistinct]. inside, yeah. slow down keep your eyes on me. slow down cause you're almost free and all I want yeah all I need to say: it's not so far away. It's not so far away.
