Leaning In

Speak to me
I see you in the shadows
Your form is so unclear
Sing me your song
The distance is enough to make a whisper hard to hear

Finally laying down
Staring at the clouds
Listening to the wind
Finally letting go
Staring at the ground
Listen for a heartbeat

Sing to me
Your silence is revealing but I need to have you near
Touch my hand again
Press it up against your face

Finally standing still
looking at the stars
listening to a whisper
Finally reaching out
Feeling for a hand
Not so far away

Leaning in to listen, leaning in to listen
Leaning in to listen, leaning in to listen

Leaning up against you, takes a little dying
Every time we step
Resting up against you, pebble in my pocket
Ashes for your thoughts
Place your hands inside me, draw a little closer
Take a little more
Broken in the center, torn before an altar
Take a little more
Tell me all your secrets, burn away my answers
Anything you want.
