Chalk Farm - Lesson

Sinking, while the water rises
In a stream
Helpless, as my indecision's
Drowning me
Tripping, over things that I should
Clearly see
Speechless, when a word would save me
It's words I fear
If I falter, would you help me make it right?
If I run for shelter, will you hold me for the night?
If I trust you, will it help me see the light?
I've lived my life alone, I've learned my lesson
Reaching, out to no one who can
Give me help
Feeling, for the candle
As I burn myself
If I falter, would you help me make it right?
If I run for shelter, will you hold me for the night?
If I trust you, will it help me see the light?
I've lived my life alone, I've learned my lesson

I've learned my lesson
Stop and overcompensate for all the times
That you've been afraid
The world's become a conversation, close the door
Somebody just might hear you
Never break the silence
Never break the law, never let them in
It seems so complicated
It's not all us and them
If I falter, would you help me make it right?
If I run for shelter, will you hold me for the night?
If I trust you, will it help me see the light?
I've lived my life alone, I've learned my lesson
If I falter, would you help me make it right?
If I run for shelter, will you hold me for the night?
If I love you, will it help me see the light?
I've lived my life alone
