Otherwise Lyrics

Head on your shoulder now

The barest surface

That feeling of closeness

I can't replicate elsewhere

An open wound

Unspoken but familiar

We lie in the minutes

As they start to close in on me

This feels so good

And you could feel so much better

But I'll take you all

In your uncertainty

This lesson in meeting you

In not expecting

In taking away what's here for me

I know I made you feel so good

You could be anything to anyone if you wanted to

You look me right in the eyes

And there's no problem going there

But you won't take me all the way in

I don't understand

Disappearing and playing dead

When there's acceptance

In all the things we've said

If it feels weird

You said you know we'd talk about it

At times it felt like you wanted

Something you couldn't get

I know I made you feel so good

You could be anything to anyone if you wanted to

You look me right in the eyes

And there's no problem going there

But you won't take me all the way in

Take me all the way in

Take me all the way in

The relief you feel when I'm gone

Makes it more devastating to count on

But the way you grip me tightly

Makes me think otherwise

And the way you hold on to me

Makes me think otherwise

I know I made you feel so good

You could be anything to anyone if you wanted to

You look me right in the eyes

And there's no problem going there

But you won't take me all the way in

Take me all the way in

Take me all the way in
