On The Fence

from Until It's Gone by Ben Rabb

	/

lyrics

How long can I stare at this side of the door
I’ve said and meant to open it so many times before
When I was a boy I never would toy with an open door
Never could stay too long in one place, just wanted more

Doesn’t seem so simple now
As it did back then
Just two broken hearts
On the fence

When I let you in, I gave away all of my past
Mistakes I’ve made, lover and shame gone, just like that
Still I claim, they gave me my strength and my muse
Put words to my voice, and crafted my point of view

Doesn’t seem so simple now
As it did back then
Just two broken hearts
On the fence

Take a step aside
Say goodbye to another love
Or go and share my hand
Cause I’m alive, not alone

Doesn’t seem so simple now
As it did back then
Just two broken hearts
On the fence

Doesn’t seem so simple now
As it did back then
Just two broken hearts
On the fence

Doesn’t seem so simple now
As it did back then
Just two broken hearts
On the fence
