The Way That I Am

Come inside take off your mask
You don't need to hold anything back
Its just us and the December night
The moon and the power lines

Gently you tell me you love me
And like catching lightning, disbelief
Tracing and re—memorizing
The space between your eyes and between your teeth

And you love me the way that I am
I know I'm safe in your hands
I'd say yes again and again
Cause you love me the way that I am

Locked eyes, forgetting it all
Growing on me like vines on a wall
And our secrets are just ours to know
Unreserved in the afterglow

Looking up at thousands of diamonds
The look in your eyes when it's you and me
Something unexplainable, unsaid
Like Arizona sunsets and Tennessee heat

And you love me the way that I am
I know I'm safe in your hands
I'd say yes again and again
Cause you love me the way that I am

Every sundown and every storm
I'll keep the light on and you'll keep me warm
Fingers entwined as you tighten your grip
I don't need anything more than this

And you love me the way that I am
I know I'm safe in your hands
I'd say yes again and again
Cause you love me the way that I am
