[Verse 1]
We know all of each others moves
In this twisted dance we do
But we stubbornly refuse
To admit what this might be
'Cause I've been down this road before
Don't trust my instincts anymore
And it's easier to ignore
The fact that you unravel me
[Pre-Chorus]
What do I do if you if you're no good for me
But I might be good for you?
Why do I crave your love so desperately
When I don't even want to?
[Chorus]
My defenses are down
I've lost all resistance
And when you're not touching me
I can feel your distance
So if you're gonna leave
Wherever you go please take me
At your side is where I'll be
Wherever you go please take me
Wherever you go please take me
Wherever you go please take me
[Verse 2]
You watch the world from on your throne
In a kingdom no one knows
'Cause you'd rather be alone
Than be caught without your shield
But I came banging on the walls
It's like I heard your heartbeat call
And if this castle ever falls
I won't be anywhere but here
[Pre-Chorus]
What do I do if I'm no good for you
But you might be good for me?
Why aren't I brave enough to make a move
Instead of second-guessing?
[Chorus]
My defenses are down
I've lost all resistance
And when you're not touching me
I can feel your distance
So if you're gonna leave
Wherever you go please take me
At your side is where I'll be
Wherever you go please take me
Wherever you go please take me
Wherever you go please take me
[Bridge]
You are nothing that I wanted
But you are everything I needed
We know all of each other's moves
[Chorus]
My defenses are down
I've lost all resistance
And when you're not touching me
I can feel your distance
So if you're gonna leave
Wherever you go please take me
At your side is where I'll be
Wherever you go please take me
