Lyrics
We're skin to skin paper thin
We're physically close, vulnerable
How did I lose control
Expressing a loss of control
A strangers heart
Referring to the heart of a stranger
So close to mine
Emphasizing the proximity of the hearts
It's hard to hold on when
Struggling to maintain connection
It rips and it cuts, and it hurts when you trust
Describing the pain and betrayal when trust is broken
How it feels when you think that you're not good enough I could leave you right now and maybe I'll be fine
Considering leaving, but anticipating regret
But I'll regret for the rest of my life
Weighing the potential lifelong consequences of decisions
With every touch you make it burn But I'm ready to learn to love
Feeling the burning sensation with every touch, but willing to learn to love
With every kiss you make it worse But I'm ready to learn to love
Acknowledging that kisses intensify the pain, yet still open to learning to love
You, you- I'm ready to learn to love You, you- I'm ready to learn to love
Expressing readiness to learn to love
It's dangerous
Highlighting the danger in breaking emotional barriers
To tear down walls
Symbolizing vulnerability by laying life in another's hands
And I lay my life in yours
Hoping to successfully bridge the emotional gap
Fingers crossed we
Referring to crossed fingers as a sign of hope
Get across
Expressing the difficulty of maintaining connection
So hard to hold on when
It rips and it cuts, and it hurts when you trust
Describing the emotional impact of feeling inadequate
How it feels when you think that you're not good enough I could leave you right now and maybe I'll be fine
Considering leaving, anticipating potential personal well-being
But I'll regret for the rest of my life
Acknowledging potential regret for a lifetime
With every touch you make it burn But I'm ready to learn to love
Enduring the burning sensation with each touch, but willing to learn to love
With every kiss you make it worse But I'm ready to learn to love
Acknowledging that kisses intensify the pain, yet still open to learning to love
You, you- I'm ready to learn to love You, you- I'm ready to learn to love
Expressing ongoing readiness to learn to love
I never thought it was possible to be myself with somebody else Pick me apart and then build me up so I can stand stronger again
Discovering the possibility of being oneself with someone else, undergoing personal growth
With every touch you make it burn But I'm ready to learn to love
Enduring the burning sensation with each touch, but willing to learn to love
With every kiss you make it worse But I'm ready to learn to love
Acknowledging that kisses intensify the pain, yet still open to learning to love
You, you, I'm ready to learn to love
Reiterating ongoing readiness to learn to love
