lyrics

I can't escape it
I'm catching what you keep
When you're awake I can't sleep
I can feel your worries creep in

I can't escape it
Despair will find a home
Like a ghostly hand to hold
Like very heavy load

I know that I'm falling for you
But I'm not sure that I can handle what you're falling into

I can't escape it
Can't let go of this hurt
When the water's crisp and cool
But you only taste the dirt

I can't escape it
It's the way the scene is spun
When you wander into space
And you can't see anyone

I know that I'm falling for you
But I'm not sure that I can handle what you're falling into
And though every part of me aches
The emptiness has been the only place I feel safe

I know that I'm falling for you
But I'm not sure that I can handle what you're falling into
And though every part of me aches
The emptiness has been the only place I feel safe

I know that I'm falling for you
But I'm not sure that I can handle what you're falling into
And though every part of me aches
The emptiness has been the only place I feel safe
