i m burning bridges like i ve got nowhere to go i can t speak my mind without stepping on someone else s toes and i ve run out of ways to keep her happy and content i ve pissed away all of my friends for a girl i thought was heaven sent but just when i thought i couldn t take anymore she sent me reeling sent me searching for a cure for all my pent up desperation and when i d lost all of my patience she pulled me underneath her wing and she said boy when the sun goes down i ll hold you through the night protect you from the monsters that you keep inside cause you re a nervous wreck and nowhere feels like home but if you give me a chance i ll never let you feel alone i m a post traumatic disaster victim of my own subconscious searching for the fastest route to a 12 step plan to help me fight this and i guess you could say that i m just a boy pretending to be a man no clue what i m doing or where i m going just spinning my wheels until someone tells me to stop  but if i had the cure for my own discomfort slowly pulling me under i could let it go knowing that she s alright because she keeps me sane she keeps me safe in the light and when the sun goes down i ll hold you through the night so you can fall asleep believing you re alright but i m a nervous wreck clinging to all i know and i may seem so strong but i m too scared to go and when the sun goes down we ll hold each other tight set all our plans in motion let our dreams take flight cause we ve got big ideas and even bigger hearts we could change the world if we had any idea where to start where to start yeah we ve got big ideas and even bigger hearts
