lyrics

I used to let myself
breathe in all of what was being said
only to catch myself
right before I leaned right off the edge
until you caught my waist
and suddenly the world started to make sense

And in a way, you seemed to be peace
and it let me rest

You turn my troubled words around
'till there's no need for any sound
no need for anything at all
and I know you'll always be around
to keep my feet on solid ground
and my heart where it belongs

And up 'till now I'd count my steps
in someone else's shoes
a line divided by a different time
and the night I spoke to you

and in a way, you seemed to be peace
and it let me be

You turn my troubled words around
'till there's no need for any sound
no need for anything at all
and I know you'll always be around
to keep my feet on solid ground
and my heart where it belongs

Brown eyes, tempting fate
to let me live as who I was then
or as I am now

And as you turn my world around
I find myself in your arms
finally a place it's safe to fall
and I know you'll always be around
to keep my feet on solid ground
and you knew it all along

You turn my troubled words around
'till there's no need for any sound
no need for anything at all
and I know you'll always be around
to keep my feet on solid ground
and my heart where it belongs

I used to let myself breathe in all of what was being said
but boy, I'll breathe you in instead
