Sometimes I know I become
All that's weak in a man, and weak in a boy
But I keep trying and I won't quit

And that must be worth something more
Than a strong man who believes
That there's nothing left to try for

And I can be cold, I know, I know
But a woman is a warm breath on the back of your neck
And a warm belly pressed against yours

We need to feel the sum of all our parts
Are more than what's laid out in lines upon our palms
Although our hands aren't tied, we move as though they are

There's one house in every town that everyone fears
And everyone steers clear
And I don't wanna live like that

I'd rather live somewhere more like you
By the sea, where the cliffs keep sentry
Watching over me

And it can get rough out there I know
But a woman is a sail that remains unfurled
So stay ahead of the wind, man, or you won't catch her

We need to feel the sum of all our parts
Are more than what's laid out in lines upon our palms
Although our hands aren't tied, we move as though they are
Until we're bound by branching out

Sometimes I know where I am
And what I'm doing, and what things might become
But that always seems such a fleeting state
For the remainder of the time I feel like I am a babe in the woods, howling for deliverance

And I can be cold, I know, I know
But a woman is a warm breath on the back of your neck
And a warm belly pressed against yours
