I sometimes carry
My fears around
They get so heavy
I have to put them down
For years I’ve waited
To step outside
For fear that I’d
Get burned by the light
Hold me down
Why don’t you
Lay your head on mine
Slow me down
Why don’t you
Take me back in time
I guess the apple
And the tree
Are bound to see things
Differently
‘Cause one is rooted
And the other one’s free
I just can’t seem to remember
Which one is me
Hold me down
Why don’t you
Lay your head on mine
Slow me down
Why don’t you
Take me back
The feelings always come back
‘Cause they were here before me
I can’t expect them to change
I can’t expect them to leave
I take a look at myself through all of their eyes
Wish I could give them back
And swap them for mine
(x2)
Hold me down
Why don’t you
Lay your head on mine
Slow me down
Why don’t you
Take me back in time
