you say i am the song that your heart sings
you say many things

you're finding out more than what you can see
you're finding out that it's more than just me

i need to know something
even if it's not a fact
to keep myself in line
and waiting to react

making myself more than you sick
just trying to stay on topic
rather than run and hide
are you on my side?

you've faced me standing with arms wide open
you've faced what i've been

i've pulled too many teeth i wish i'd kept
i've pulled my weight right up to your doorstep

it always seems so odd
when the darker instinct wins
to claim some sort of prize
before the fight begins

i have known your type of magic
a type of proud and useful trick
one that i should have tried
are you on my side?

you wish somehow my faith wasn't so small
you wish like us all

you don't speak when i tell you what i doubt
you don't speak of things you don't know about

if you're the one to take
the danger out of caution
then charter a new course
and draw me an ocean

you think i'm slowed down by questions
suspicion split into sections
that may not be implied
are you on my side?
