Avalanche

What I know is that I'm good

At getting on then getting right back off the hook

Making plans for someone else

But every book I've ever held re-writes itself

I get worn out on my favorite cycle

Where I do something dumb and try to survive it

When I try to say the things I can't

It comes out like an avalanche

How else do I prove that I adore you?

Something about my savage heart

That wants to tear your world apart

And stitch it all right back together for you

What you do just for me

Is rake yourself across the coals that I can't see

You never ask for me to prove

You just know I do the very same for you

I get spit out facing problems sideways

And I dig my fingers into the good things

When I try to say the things I can't

It comes out like an avalanche

How else do I prove that I adore you

Something about my savage heart

That wants to tear your world apart

And stitch it all right back together for you

For you

Got plans for you

Used to worry I was a goner

Wanted just what I wanted

Scraping down at the bottom

Thought I'd never dig out

When I try to say the things I can't

It comes out like an avalanche

How else do I prove that I adore you

Something about my savage heart

That wants to tear your world apart

And stitch it all right back together for you

For you

Got plans for you

For you

Got plans for you
