And I thought that we were done
I was so scared to death
That I'd never get another chance

To share the same breath

With the girl in Nebraska

That turned me around
The day that I met you
Was the day that I found


A reason to live
A reason to breathe

You made me forget
every insecurity


That I'd built up inside
Cause I just couldn't take it
I thought that I could

But I was sadly mistaken

Now it's your choice

You know that I'm crossing my fingers
That you'll give me a chance
Even though the fear lingers


Cause he left you a scar
That was deep enough to see

And I hate that because of him
You're doing this to me


So baby drop off the act
And drop down your guard
I made you the promise

That I won't break your heart

And when the sun starts to rise

And the spark starts between us
You can look in my eyes
And you'll know that I mean it


Oh... oh...
I swear that I'll mean it...

Oh... oh...
I swear that I'll mean it


*chorus*
I'm not leaving til you tell me
That we're meant to be

because the feeling's got me restless
It's been weeks since I could sleep


I've been staring at the ceiling
And counting down the days
Until the moment that you finally

Open up to me

I've been taking %#@! for granted

Because it's hard to care
About the other things in life
When I just wish that you were there


So baby stop the masquerade
I'll give you time to breathe

The only thing I ask for in return is that you
Open up to me..


Is that you open up to me...
Is that you open up to me...
Is that you open up to me...

Is that you open up to me...
*end chorus*


And I'd never missed you more
Than on the day I thought I lost you
It $#&@ed me up so badly

Cause I thought for sure I'd caught you

And my sentences were running like
They had no place to go
They haven't been the same since,

God dammit, I don't know

But what I know is that you feel it
Cause I can feel it to
It's like the sky is falling down

And there is nothing you can do

Or like your trapped inside a box
And no one's got the key
I've come to make the rescue

If you would only let me...

Oh... oh...
If you would only let me...
Oh... oh...

If you would only let me...

*chorus*
I'm not leaving til you tell me
That we're meant to be
because the feeling's got me restless

It's been weeks since I could sleep

I've been staring at the ceiling
And counting down the days
Until the moment that you finally
Open up to me


I've been taking %#@! for granted
Because it's hard to care
About the other things in life
When I just wish that you were there

So baby stop the masquerade
I'll give you time to breathe

The only thing I ask for in return is that you
Open up to me..
*end chorus*

Me and you are the only thing I see...
Me and you are the only thing I see...


*chorus*
I'm not leaving til you tell me
That we're meant to be
because the feeling's got me restless
It's been weeks since I could sleep

I've been staring at the ceiling

And counting down the days
Until the moment that you finally
Open up to me

I've been taking %#@! for granted
Because it's hard to care
About the other things in life

When I just want you there

So baby stop the masquerade
I'll give you time to breathe
The only thing I ask for in return is that you
Open up to me..
*end chorus*
