Step by step, we're moving slow
Breath by breath, I learn your language as we go
Will we find our fill
If you won't take the lead?
We can't hurt and heal
If I don't see you bleed

We dance and spin but never pierce the skin
I'll never break inside your walls if you don't let me in
So build them high and don't look down
'Cause it's lonely in the clouds up there when you finally look around
For solid ground

Page by page, you draw your lines
Day by day, you build a fortress in your mind
Sheltered soul
More and more it grows
Tell me, what's the toll
Of living every day alone?

We dance and spin but never pierce the skin
I'll never break inside your walls if you don't let me in
So build them high and don't look down
'Cause it's lonely in the clouds up there when you finally look around
For solid ground

Cover your scars and bury your sins
Show me what hides beneath the skin
You cover your scars and bury your sins
Show me what hides beneath the skin
Cover your scars and bury your sins
Show me what hides beneath the skin
You cover your scars and bury your sins
Show me what hides beneath the skin

Cover your scars and bury your sins
Show me what hides beneath the skin
You just lost yourself inside your head
Show me what hides beneath the skin
Cause I'll never know

We dance and spin but never pierce the skin
I'll never break inside your walls if you don't let me in
So build them high and don't look down
'Cause it's lonely in the clouds up there when you finally look around
For solid ground
