ADVANCES

Your faith in me
is all I see
But my star is falling
My bravery’s cast
In glass
And you don’t ask the questions
That we both want you to ask

Your advances
Are sideways glances
I keep fending them off
But you’re wearing me down

You keep both hands
behind my back
But one of them is drifting
You keep the target
under attack
But the front is now shifting

Your advances
Are sideways glances
I keep fending them off
But you’re wearing me down

Across your Maginot line
Stepped into a world not mine
I hope I can make the return
I hope I can make the return,

to your advances
your sideways glances
I keep fending them off
But they’re wearing me down
Your advances
Are sideways glances
I keep fending them off
But you’ve worn me down
Worn me down
