Well I can't get too close without wanting all of you

 So I'll settle right into this back seat

 But to be honest, I'm not sure if I can take the solitude

 It's been a long time running

 Since I sighted my first love

 And this mountainside's only getting steeper

 My breath's burning in my lungs

 I wonder when I'm gonna catch a break

 or at least be able to breathe easier

 This drive is telling me to be all that I can't for her

 You're not holding up your end of the bargain,

 but I'll continue to hold up mine

 'Cause I've always been a betting man

 And I'm dying for you to prove me right

 I see the potential you have inside

 Maybe that's why I've continued to fight

 You just can't see all that you are to me

 So I'll just have to learn to be alright

 Without you by my side

 My bed seems so much colder at night

 This chill doesn't seem to be going away

 So I'll acquire a taste for its bite

 

 Give these dry lips words to speak

 A wandering soul, hopeful for living springs

 Searching tirelessly for a well, blue and deep

 From which to pull up strength, something cool to drink

 There are deserts hidden deep inside you and me

 Come now, sit for a while and breathe

 You don't have to say a thing

 Darling, your silence says everything

 

 You're not holding up your end of the bargain,

 but I'll continue to hold up mine

 'Cause I've always been a betting man

 And I'm just dying for you to prove me right

 

 I just want to know your story

 Learning, so I may love you complete

 'Cause if we dig deep enough

 There are wells hidden deep inside of you and me

 

 You're not holding up your end of the bargain,

 but I'll continue to hold up mine

 'Cause I've always been a betting man

 And I'm just dying for you to prove me right
