Elephants
Riley Pearce Lyrics

You're scared 'cause I am too
We both feel afraid in this situation

This feeling in my head, is being there for too long
I've been struggling with this emotional burden for a while now

We sleep now with the light on
We're scared of the dark and need the light to feel safe

But shadows make shapes in the light
The shadows cast by the light can be scary or unsettling

And I don't know what they might be
I'm unsure of what those shapes or shadows might represent

You called me, because I answered
You reached out to me and I responded

So cover your toes with the jacket
You should protect yourself and take care

And the bones with the blanket
Wrap yourself up and feel safe and secure

She tells me that I will be alright
Someone is providing comfort and reassurance

And for a second it feels that I believe her
I almost trust her words and feel less scared

'Cause I forget the way that I've felt
I'm starting to let go of the negative emotions I've been holding onto

There's somebody who heard it that splits us right down to the middle
Someone has caused a rift between us

But I'd be coming back for you
I'll still come back to you after all of this

But lost, 'cause I answered
I followed a call or a voice and now I'm lost

Directions mean nothing in the dark
It's hard to find your way when you can't see

And I don't know where you stand
I'm uncertain about your feelings or intentions

The maps are gone, so are our footprints too
We've lost our sense of direction and our past paths are erased

To get home now will take something that I'm not sure that I have left
Returning to where we used to be will require more effort than I'm capable of

I'm trying, I'm just trying to be Brave
I'm doing my best to be strong and face my fears

I'd be coming back for you
I won't abandon you, even if it's difficult to reunite
