Song lyrics
You say it's easier
Alone and undisturbed
You said, "Yes," and danced before
And got your feelings hurt
You say most days you're good
It's not so bad this room
Why chance the rain today
Even though it's clear and sunny
And you fight it so hard
How to tell if it's real or not
Take a breath and listen (listen)
Open up stop wishin' (wishin')
All that you've been missin' (missin')
Standing in front of you
Everything you're fearin' (fearin')
All the walls you're buildin' (buildin')
Take a chance your reason (reason)
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
You start to sway again
Feelin' good in your skin
You start to remember when
You didn't have to try
And then the glitter turns to dust
The color fades enough to
Make out pictures of a fire
That burns like love
You can close your eyes don't worry
I'll still be here in the morning
Take a breath and listen (listen)
Open up stop wishin' (wishin')
All that you've been missin' (missin')
Standing in front of you
Everything you're fearin' (fearin')
All the walls you're buildin' (buildin')
Take a chance your reason (reason)
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
And they won't break us
And they can't get through
'Cause I'm gonna be here
Standing in front of you
Take a breath and listen (listen)
Open up stop wishin' (wishin')
All that you've been missin' (missin')
Standing in front of you
Everything you're fearin' (fearin')
All the walls you're buildin' (buildin')
Take a chance your reason (reason)
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
Standing in front of you
