Restless, floating free
I take her in my arms
Try to keep her here with me
She always pulls away
so distant, so detached
I just can't tame her reckless energy
She talks about the clouds
She wants to soar above
I want to hold her down
I want to ground her with my love
I need to keep her safe
Don't want to let her fall
But somehow I can never do enough
[chorus]
There can't be any other way
Why will she not see
To save her from herself today
She has to come with me
I wish I could find a way
To save her from herself
She hides herself away
In her personal hell
She says she cares for me
She doesn't care for her
When she risks herself she's risking me as well
[chorus]
