All My Fears on You

Pace around the back room of my place

I'm flipping through the script I can't erase

I'm turning every verse and chapter

I'm the author and the actor

It's never meant that much to me

'Cause I've placed all my fears on you

And there's so much more to lose

When holding back gets in the way

I'm only tryin' to keep you safe

From all the things I thought I'd never do

'Cause I've placed all my fears on you

Lazy afternoon in the park

You're like a fire in the dark

There's something just beneath the surface

That's trying to give the past a purpose

It's never meant that much to me

'Cause I've placed all my fears on you (don't go away... go away...)

There's so much more to lose (don't go away...)

When holding back gets in the way

I'm only trying to keep you safe

From all the things I thought I'd never do

And now I'm finally finding out

All the things I've gone without

So many things I thought I'd never do

I'm turning every verse and chapter

I'm the author and the actor

It's never meant that much to me

'Cause I've placed all my fears on you (don't go away... go away...)

There's so much more to lose (don't go away...)

(So far away...)
