All My Fears on You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Pace around the back room of my place I'm flipping through the script I can't erase I'm turning every verse and chapter I'm the author and the actor It's never meant that much to me [Chorus] 'Cause I've placed all my fears on you And there's so much more to lose When holding back gets in the way I'm only tryin' to keep you safe From all the things I thought I'd never do 'Cause I've placed all my fears on you [Verse 2] Lazy afternoon in the park You're like a fire in the dark There's something just beneath the surface That's trying to give the past a purpose It's never meant that much to me [Chorus] 'Cause I've placed all my fears on you (don't go away... go away...) There's so much more to lose (don't go away...) When holding back gets in the way I'm only trying to keep you safe From all the things I thought I'd never do And now I'm finally finding out All the things I've gone without So many things I thought I'd never do [Bridge] [Verse 1 abridged] I'm turning every verse and chapter I'm the author and the actor It's never meant that much to me [Chorus] 'Cause I've placed all my fears on you (don't go away... go away...) There's so much more to lose (don't go away...) [Guitar Solo] (So far away...)
