lyrics

My instinct to flee
Before being fled
Is on a hair trigger
Be careful where I step
If tripped, would I then high tail it?
I want this intact
After such an impact as you've had
I am a stunned hummingbird
Tiny in your hand

Just go
Go and get it over with
Tear off the band-aid
With one swift motion
Might as well start healing now
Why wait?

But it would not save me
The grief of losing he who saved me
From deep, deep sea
