Trip & Fall

Take a piece of me,
and dress it up nice on a plate.
Take a bite of me,
tell em' it's the best you've ever ate.
Don't you lie to me,
I want to trust all that you say.
Please be kind to me,
don't use me and throw me away.

In the name of being open
and stripped down to my soul.
I'll hold my breath and count down
and then let go of control
of these words I've kept close
but no longer want to hold.

I just want to fall in love with you
do the trip and fall and skip the bruise.
I'm ready to light it up, spark the fuse,
I'm guilty, but only if I stand accused
of wanting to fall in love with you.

Because you helped me,
those days I couldn't find my pipe,
and you don't judge me,
though you don't smoke, who's to say who's right?
Cause I dream of you,
when I'm sleeping alone in my bed.
I write about you,
cause I can't shake you out of my head.

So in the name of being open,
cause you've never lied to me,
and someone a bit wiser said
the truth will set you free.
I'll open up this mouth
even though it's scary.

I just want to fall in love with you,
do the trip and fall and skip the bruise.
I'm ready to light it up, spark the fuse,
I'm guilty, but only if I stand accused
of wanting to fall in love with you.

Just take all of me
because I am already yours
Take good care of me,
and I'll fight with you all your wars.
If you just ask me,
I can open up and give you more.

I just want to fall in love with you,
do the trip and fall and skip the bruise.
I'm ready to light it up, spark the fuse,
I'm guilty, but only if I stand accused
of wanting to fall in love with you.
