[Verse 1]

I lay on the carpet

A wrench to let you in

Carbonating emotion

Tears rising to the rim

I fled to the walls, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

Be sure I'm surrounded

(Where no one can find me)

But there’s strength behind a lowered gate

(A humble embrace, a vulnerable place)

[Chorus]

Say you're open through tears and trembling

It's a major step, it’s okay to fret

Here's a safe place to lay your heart down

It's a second chance, it won't be your last

[Verse 2]

Letting my guard down

Enough to be held close

There's strength in the open

The broken and exposed

Should I flee to the mountains?

[Pre-Chorus]

Be sure I'm surrounded

(Where no one can find me)

The strength within an open space

(A humble place, a venerable place)

[Chorus]

Say you're open through tears and trembling

It's a major step, it’s okay to fret

Here’s a safe place to lay your heart down

It's a second chance, it won’t be your last

Say you're open through tears and trembling

It's a major step, it's okay to fret

Here’s a safe place to lay your heart down

It's a second chance, it won't be your last
