[verse 1]
I have got a colorful past written on my wall
(It doesn't really matter at all)
Such a strange game to play I go out of my way
Just to stamp it out
(It doesn't really matter at all)
I wanna live in a way that
I dread the grave that my bones will wed
As little as my own bed
A smarter man than me told me
"There is no bravery, just degrees of fear"
(But I fear that we're incapable)
[chorus]
Take me into your arms
It's amazing here where you are
But don't wake me
Make me melt into your arms again tonight
Take me into your arms send me baby
Higher and higher, don't wake me
Make me melt into your arms again tonight
[verse 2]
I have seen a paradox of people walk out that door
(It doesn't really matter at all)
where's the kid who went out of his way
Just to know your name?
(I never shoulda bothered)
I'm taking a deep hard look at the bald-faced crook
Too rich to last (too famous too fast, oh).
A wiser man than me told me
"Son you gotta be who you wanna be,
The rest is just a spectacle."
[bridge]
If all we are is stepping stones
Cast them all away
No one here will follow you down
Throw it all away
[final chorus]
Maybe we can start over and maybe
This could be possible baby
You'll never have to go anywhere alone
Take me into your arms
It's amazing here where you are
Don't you wake me
Make me melt into your arms again tonight
