Parachute

She has no problem with secrets
She knows how to keep them
She never felt the need to let them show
I've had no trouble with speaking
Or trusting my instincts
And maybe this is one that I should know
But as I'm waiting there
The devil on my shoulder stares
Laughing that the one thing I can't get
Is what I need
She
She is the words that I can't find
How can the only thing that's killing me
Make me feel so alive
And I couldn't speak
I couldn't breathe to save my life
All of my chances swim
Like sinking ships
This time it's it
I'll drown or make her mine
My vocal chords have been fighting
My mouth likes to spite me
It never says the words that come to mind
I brought a stick to a gun fight
And I'm stuck with my tongue tied
I run but I can't hide what's always there is
She
She is the words that I can't find
How can the only thing that's killing me
Make me feel so alive
