Numb

Averi

I've been warring with myself
I've wrestled these ideas and all these things I've felt
And I don't feel any better
The war goes on, but whatever

We all think too much
I guess I sat here just hoping
That all these things you were throwing
Would reassure my uncertainties

I start to choose a direction
When you shake your head and I question the steps I start to take
And I'm sure the view is breathtaking
If I could only step to that ledge

They take a picture of you at the top
Oh, did you smile when the flash went off?

[Chorus]
If I stop to catch my breath
Could you please slow up?
Because it hurts that much
When my lungs are numb
And if I hint at giving in
Remind me I'm strong
And I need to be
Where I want to belong

It takes time to feel sure about this
Security is something I can't quite grab ahold of yet
I start to lose my direction
When you choke on your words

And I question the steps I start to take
Words are not necessary
So instead of that could you maybe
Just let me go my way?

They take a picture of you at the top
Oh, did you smile when the flash went off?

[Chorus]

I'm naked for the world
And it's chilling to be outside
Where I can't see anything in front of me clearly

It's a right of passage
Like a child in it's adolescence
It's a passing storm
And I can only wait it out
So I wait it out
I wait it out
I wait it out
With or without you

[Chorus]

I'm naked for the world
And it's chilling to be outside
Where I can't see anything in front of me clearly
I can't see clearly
