If there is amber in the filament that wander 'cross this stripped bare
You caught me off guard didn't mean to ignore you standing there
So now we dance around the winter when both our bodies set to freeze
You want to be the keeper of these sins I bare then let them be yours please
I think you should know this cholera of love I have endured
Poisoned by my own two hands this water I ran through was not as pure
In you I see a cleansing skin not to soak up but simply rinse me clean
Want to be the keeper of my heart you'll need to keep my insecurities
I am waiting on this feeling
I know it's come soon
I'm not easy to handle darling, but I'm yours
Through and through
When a wine neck cracks spilling a secret you hold dear
Leave me only with this question, who are you looking for
Cause I can't find the words or ways to cross over this old deep
If you'll be the keeper of my hands it's you my arms in turn will keep
What spins my head, left me bed ridden sick on those three words
That were said in open air now what I have is all yours
Bend these walls a way that no space can contain my need
For a claim to stake upon my skin for ownership of what's underneath
That veil is thick and the armor I wear I cannot show
You want to be the keeper of my bones you'll need to keep the weight they've known
I am waiting on this feeling
I still know, I know it's coming soon
I'm not easy to handle darling
But I'm yours, I'm yours, I'm yours, I'm yours
Through and through
