lyrics

You are across the table from me Your face lit up by candlelight And you offer me your open paw, I take your hand it feels right
Then I tell some dumb joke
And you smile wide
I can’t help but think it’s the one you keep
For when you're just being polite

And are we getting below the surface? Or are we just moving in the night?
Or am I holding out for just a little more than I have a right to?

Just show me your ugly heart
I’m not afraid of who you are
I’m not afraid of your face when you’ve been crying Just show me your tired soul
‘Cause I’m not afraid to know
I’m not afraid of who you might be
I’m only afraid of what you’re not telling me

Now I’ve made the mistake before, Confusing kindness for love
But if i could live inside your palm-- Well, would that be enough?

Now are we getting below the surface? Or are we just sweating in the night? Or am I holding out for just a little more than I have a right to?

Just show me your ugly heart
I’m not afraid of who you are
I’m not afraid of your face when you’ve been crying Just show me your tired soul
I’m not afraid to know
I’m not afraid of who you might be
I’m only afraid of what you’re not telling me
