Description
"Ready for a Letdown"I took one step, one breath
Walked out the door scared to death
The wind blew, I thought about you
And pain came down like you’re the cue
I tried to run, but the car didn’t start
So I sat there breaking apart
The songs keep playing on the radio
Finding words to make my manifesto
She burns me, complicates me
But I’m still touched by her beauty
Brings me up, crashes me down
I’m ready for another letdown
The words make fixtures in my mind
Waving hope that once had shined
Shimmering eyes, I see your lies
Come out of hiding, see the sun rise
I woke up, went back to bed
Reliving moments in dreams instead
Maybe this will be my breakthrough
Close my eyes so I can see you
She burns me, complicates me
But I’m still touched by her beauty
Brings me up, crashes me down
I’m ready for another letdown
Shower on, I shower down
It hides the tears and hides the frown
Watch the water fade away
To come on back another day
Nothing helps the chill at all
Shiver, quiver, wait for nightfall
So I can sleep and weep and dream
Hide the shadow, hold my scream
She burns me, complicates me
But I’m still touched by her beauty
Brings me up, crashes me down
I’m ready for another letdown
