Reckless Heart

© Anne Sumner 2017

All of the things I’ve withstood here
All of my problems with you
When you get that faraway look in your eyes
I’m blind in the light of you
The times that I thought it was over
The times that I wished that it was
Can’t keep you awake at the end of the day
Can’t see the point in us

Hold on tight, dear, I wish it was everything
Right here, where we began
Reckless heart, would sacrifice anything
To be back in your arms again
For you to want me that way again

How can I stand this devotion?
How do I wait for the truth?
When every step takes us ten times as long
As I ever wanted it to
I know in my mind where I’m heading
The places I want us to go
As soon as you’re done checking I’m not as dumb
As the ones who have gone before

Hold on tight, dear, I wish it was everything
Right here, where we began
Reckless heart, would sacrifice anything
To be back in your arms again
For you to want me that way again

Didn’t I love you enough, the first time around
Did my fears put you off? But what about now
Do I find patience when all that I want
Is for us to get deeper

Hold on tight, dear, I wish it was everything
Right here, where we began
Reckless heart, would sacrifice anything
To be back in your arms again
For you to want me that way again

Hold on tight, dear, I wish it was everything
Right here, where we began
Reckless heart, would sacrifice anything
To be back in your arms again
For you to want me that way again
