i can feel you pull away
& it's just as i lean in
& the timing leaves me wide, open
with a miss i am betrayed
slices right through my thick skin
yet i seek another hide

i'm asking you to stay [in my arms]
away [you're breaking me apart]
stay [in my arms]
away [you're breaking me apart]

& i'm out here on a limb
but i'm holding out my hand
hoping you can make the climb, with me
& i'm carving in the bark
dropping down to where you stand
trying silence on for size

i'm asking you to stay [in my arms]
away [you're breaking me apart]
stay [in my arms]
away [you're breaking me apart]

& i miss you in my fingers
& valleys in between
it's odd how feelings linger
for something yet unseen
there's ages between,
my heart & my mouth
my veins throb with that
which i can't spit out
now i don't need much
just presence in mind
& reassurance your ache matches mine
so stay [please don't pull away, from me]

i'm asking you to stay [in my arms]
away [you're breaking me apart]
stay [in my arms]
away [you're breaking me apart]
