Out Loud

(album: Out Loud - 2022)

The first time that you let me in
You didn't know it needed to come out
'Til it was pouring down
Like a slow dance in the rain
And we were just swaying, no
It was the first time that I saw you cry
I'd never bring it up if they're around
So we don't talk but you feel out loud
And your body's been whispering

You can't face the walk back home
You think you'll always be on your own

I'm scared you can read my thoughts
Maybe tonight you can find out what I'm
Afraid of more than I would tell
I'd save you before I'd save myself
I don't care if you feel the same
As long as I can take the pain away
'Cause they don't know what you've been through
For some reason I can see through you

You can't face the walk back home
You think you'll always be on your own
But you don't show
And you don't think your body
Holds any worth
I think that you've lost your nerve

If I could take the pain away, I would
I tried and tried, and I never could
If only you could see yourself the same way that I do
I wanna make you feel numb
I know you think you've come undone
I know it sucks to be alone
But you know you don't have to

You can't face the walk back home
You think you'll always be on your own

You can't face the walk back home
You think you'll always be on your own
But you don't show
And you don't think your body
Holds any worth
I think that you've lost your nerve
