Wall
xander. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I see you staring
From far across the room
I feel like you might want me
I see you're nervous
I can see it in the way your eyes, bounce and flicker back and forth away from me
But if you wanna really know
What can go down
You're gonna have to move with me

When I move on you
You're gonna have to show me more than that
Cause I need to see how your body talks back when I speak to it softly
And I hope you're cool with aggression cause I am and I'm never sorry
So can we pillow talk in bed
Can you let me in your head
I just wanna stay awake
Just to feel you in my space
Cause when we don't speak often
I can feel it getting awkward
I don't wanna fall away from you

So let down your walls
Let down your walls

All I ask of you is that you tell the truth
When I ask about the facts of you be comfortable
I just want to know the story of my dream come true
Please allow me to take notes I wanna know all of you
I'm surely ready now, ready now
It's time to settle down, settle down
I'm surely ready now, ready now to receive you
I'll never let you down, let down
Need me I'll come around, come around
I'll kiss you better now, better now
Let me receive you

Let down your walls
Let down your walls

Step by step
Walk with me
Dry your eyes you can trust in me
Hold my hand
Hold my hand
Pull me close and as tight as you can
Step by step (wear my band)
Walk with me
Dry your eyes you can trust in me

Hold my hand
Hold my hand
