Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I take my time
I'm not one to wager
I wait for signs
Only see the danger
If I speak too soon
I might throw you off kilter
Few flowers bloom
In the dead of the winter
[Pre Chorus]
If I could know
If I could know
[Chorus]
In a twist of fate
We'd open up under the sun
But in the end I wait
It's not enough
Holding my
Holding my tongue
Holding my
Holding my tongue
[Verse 2]
A subtle state
Burning with questions
That dissipate
And melt in hesitation
Oh your eyes don't lie
But mine could deceive me
And if I try
Would you take me or leave me
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could know
If I could know
[Chorus]
In a twist of fate
We'd open up under the sun
But in the end I wait
It's not enough
Holding my
Holding my
In a twist of fate
We'd open up under the sun
But in the end I wait
It's not enough
Holding my
Holding my tongue
[Bridge]
The hopeless dreamer I have become
I won't draw nearer cause I'm not the one
The hopeless dreamer I have become
I have become
[Chorus]
In a twist of fate
We'd open up under the sun
But in the end I wait
It's not enough
Holding my
Holding my
