Maybe it's been a little too long

Come streaming out when you feel enough

There is a trust the cautious will lack
Bm E
And now that we've touched there's no holding back

Verse 2:
When only flesh and bone remain
I'll hold you close then start again
Feeling nothing but a sweet release
Then the ghosts are gone from inside of me
I've tried to fight it but what can I do
There's something deeper that surrenders to you
CHORUS
