Always Straight Ahead

This Day & Age
She has a fear of heights
The way you feel when you're leaving on your first flight
She's like a sinking stone
Fading from the surface, but we are never alone
She's on a tightrope
Losing balance yet something's pulling her towards hope
I want to run to her
But I've already played that card, so I will fight the urge
Eyes closed, fingers crossed
Praying that she's lost
You'll never know what's around the bend
"Avoid the unknown" is ringing in your head
She has a fear of love
Accepting everything but what really dreamed of
She keeps her heart locked
No she won't answer even though she hears a knock
But love is at the door
And after all isn't that what we are here for
I want to run to her
But I've already tried, for there is only one cure
While you rest inside your regret
The sun rises and sets again
You're in your way
That's why you'll always be the same
