Harbor

Call it a learning process

And I've never been that quick

Because I take things as they come

And I respond how I see fit

But it's easy to get distracted

As I've been living life abroad

But I'm starved for your acceptance

And I work for your applause

I'd always envisioned myself as a giver

But as I reflect

I've left something to be desired

Not that my heart hasn't ever delivered

But that it's never felt this inspired

To have direction

to feel complete

To embrace affection

to end all the woe is me

But mainly to harbor the love that I have to give

But for tonight

let's just stay inside

Well it's far too loud and I just want quiet

And if we die before we wake

I'll blame it on the past mistakes

Without you

I'm not pure

And without you

I'm not clean

But if I'm going down with you

Then you're going down with me

What I'm afraid of is what is certain and

What I'm sure of is that it's on me

But I'm too tired to be that person

And that person needs to be set free

To harbor the love that I have to give
