You or the Music

I've been hiding in the quiet, scared what might be born

From the silence on those long drives, you ask me if I'm yours

And still you stand beside me, while I hesitate a second more

There's no excuse for that, and still you come on back

It's there I see your mercy, like open heaven doors

I'm a runaway train, you're an airplane, you touch down on my core

I don't know if there's a heaven, but you make me pretty sure

You're my angel, I know we're going through hell

So please don't make me choose between you and the music, I'm scared of who might win

I've been fighting a long time, life ain't been so kind to me, I just might be giving in

I ain't afraid to jump, I ain't afraid to bleed, I'm just scared to death of what you do to me

You're my own damn fault, so please tell me it's not you or the music, you or the music

I know I'm far from perfect, but I like to think that I'm an honest guy

You'll say it's by intention, but I know it's 'cause I'm bad a lyin'

You say that it's like watching your heart walking around outside your body

But here's the truth: I'm all for you

So please don't make me choose between you and the music, I'm scared of who might win

I've been fighting a long time, life ain't been so kind to me, I just might be giving in

I ain't afraid to jump, I ain't afraid to bleed, I'm just scared to death of what you do to me

You're my own damn fault, so please tell me it's not you or the music, you or the music

You have a choice now, you should get out while you can

Through all this history, there's still so much mystery left in here

Just run while you can, run!

Just run while you can, run!

So please don't make me choose between you and the music, 'cause we both know who'd win

I've been fighting a long time, life ain't been so kind to me, I just might be giving in

I ain't afraid to jump, I ain't afraid to bleed, I'm just scared to death of what you do to me

You're my own damn fault, so please tell me it's not you or the music, you or the music
