"I Don't Know How To Reach You" lyrics

"I Don't Know How To Reach You"

Remember when we were standing
Dappled and still unshaved
Hiding from hidden cameras
In the shadow of the cranes
The things that I stole, I gave you
The things that you said you liked
I bought you those pretty things
But you gave them back

Now I don't know how to reach you
I don't know where to look
I turn away from my mistakes
Try not to look
And I don't know how to reach you
I don't know where to look
I turn away, I fold the page, I close the book

I'd steal a shadow for you
I'd love you like a knife
From the towers, I try to call you
From the depths of the power lines
Tell me the things that scare you
Touch me with terror's flame
Fill me with hesitation
Again

'Cause I don't know how to reach you
I don't know where to look
I turn away from my mistakes
Try not to look
And I don't know how to reach you
I don't know where to look
I turn away, I fold the page, I close the book
And I don't know how to reach you
I don't know where to look
I turn away, I fold the page, I close the book

(I never thought it would happen)
(I never thought it would happen)
Happen to me (I never thought it would happen)
Happen to me (I never thought it would happen)
Happen to me (I never thought it would happen)
Happen to me (I never thought it would happen)
Happen to me (I never thought it would happen)
Happen to me (I never thought it would happen)
Happen to me
Happen to me
