Lyrics
I won't let this feel
Painfully trite
Like everything else waiting for me tonight
I'm tired...
Of playing polite
But you're not the same
I've come to find
Swimming around in my endless divide
I'm tired...
Of wasting our time
(Chorus)
And It's hard to be lost
It's hard to be found,
It's not easy hauling this baggage around
It's better to move than it is to resist
It's better to close the prelude to a kiss
(Verse 2)
I have to come up
To catch my breath
salt in my mouth, and fellings I didn't expect
Creeping into my head
But you put your hand
Upon my chest
Closing in, fillin the rest and I'm shaking
but I'm far from upset
(Chorus 2)
And it's hard to say no
It's good to say yes
It's so easy letting this picture progress
It's hard to let go when I meant to persist
It's hard to let go the prelude to a kiss
(Bridge)
I'm waiting impatiently
You're melting into me
I'm not what I used to be
I'm alive and we're
On fire
(Verse 3)
It's hard to say
Could go either way,
Am I all alone or does God feel the same?
To see you
Wrapped up in my pain
(Chorus 3)
And it's hard to say no
It's good to say yes
It's so easy letting this picture progress
It's hard to be lost
It's hard to be found
It's not easy, hauling this baggage around
It's better to move than it is to resist
It's better to close the prelude to a kiss
Prelude to a kiss
