Get Rid Of The Advertisements

Do I Jump or Do I Stay?
 

 
(Suicide by Pixie-Love)

Don’t expect too much
Don’t get too excited
Don’t get too attached
And most of all don’t need me….
The fiercly independent man
A self-confessed pariah
Finds himself out of his depth
I find myself in new waters

Do I jump or do I stay?
I never thought I’d feel this way again
Although I’d built a barricade you’ve found your way through
I’m looking for an easy way
To tell you all I want to say
But I’m a little scared of what it means to give myself to you.

So this is not the kind of song you’d sing along to in the car
It’s not a song I’d like to share with anyone but you
And here I stand atop my mountain,
safe and sound, I wasn’t countin'
on the little man in the valley who is calling me down

Do I jump or do I stay?
I never thought I’d feel this way again
Although I’d built a barricade you’ve found your way through
I’m looking for an easy way
To tell you all I want to say
But I’m a little scared of what it means to give myself to you.

So here I go…

I’m gonna jump - don’t want to stay
I can’t believe I feel this way again
The barricade has fallen It was years overdue
And if by chance I fail to say that you are beautiful, amazing
Just remember how I sang it to you, this winters day.

So here I go…
I’m looking for an easy way to tell you all I want to say...
OK
All I want to say is that I love you
That’s all I want to say.
