I've been running for far too long
I've been hiding behind my songs
Never saw anything wrong with that
Sometimes we close the deal
Sometimes we choose to sleep at the wheel
When we allow ourselves to feel, it's not that bad
For the sake of faith, get close
For the sake of hope, get close
For the sake of love, get close to me
We've been strangers most our lives
We are experts at breaking all the ties
Somehow we seem to seem to be surprised when we walk away
I can reclaim the day from night
I can set some stars alight
Overcome my devastating fear of flight by the end of the day
For the sake of faith, get close
For the sake of hope, get close
For the sake of love, get close to me
For the sake of faith, get close
For the sake of hope, get close
For the sake of love, get close to me
We can all keep living our lives under a shell
We can all start giving
We've all got a story to tell
We've been running for far too long
We've been hiding behind my songs
Don't you know everything's wrong with that
For the sake of faith, get close
For the sake of hope, get close
For the sake of love, get close to me
For the sake of faith, get close
For the sake of hope, get close
For the sake of love, get close to me
For the sake of us, get close to me
