Numb

                                  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
