The Universal Plot

I've never been good with directions I'm just looking for protection
of some kind.
So I'll try to be less intense and maybe less confident
and defiant.
My laces are tied so tight I can't feel the words cutting into my feet
like independence and belief.

Oh, how you torment my heart with your talk of stars
and how they fill the space between my end and start.
I don't know what we fit in the universal plot I only know
it's not worth it if I'm in it and you're not.

I'll give you words of fortitude, expect them with an attitude
of caution.
I'll try to open up my doors and forget what was done before
by a heavy hand.
I've been walking on my stilts so long I forgot what it's like to walk safe and sound on solid ground,
on pavement where love can be found.

Oh, how you torment my heart with your talk of stars
and how they fill the space between my end and start.
I don't know what we fit in the universal plot I only know
it's not worth it if I'm in it and you're not.

Forget what I said about not caring for the what ifs, buts, and what nots.
I'm a liar I'm a cheater, I'm a bit of a scene stealer
but I'll give you all I've got if you can come get it while it's hot.

Oh, how you torment my heart with your talk of stars
and how they fill the space between my end and start.
I don't know what we fit in the universal plot I only know
it's not worth it if I'm in it and you're not.
