You strike a certain chord in the thick of me
And i´m terrified in seeing how it rings and it carries
You know it´s been such a long time since I felt one inside
Call me too reserved
Cuz my armor´s on
Why should I open a pandora´s box of rude complications?
The risk is too high for one more right gone wrong

Cuz love is a very strong and sacred thing
And you can´t stop it when you want to
Even as bruises start to show
And true, taking chances gets you halfway there
But I´m not ready yet
My heart´s too tattered and bent
And I move too slow

You strike a certain chord in the thick of me
And I´m too aware it´s ringing out in you as within me
I know you´ve had such a hard time to get me by your side
But I´ve heard this song before in a different key
And I fear we might be singing out too late or too early
To set the stage for one more right gone wrong

Cuz love is a very strong and sacred thing
But when he went without a warning
My heart alone did take the blow
So I will trace my musings with this simple tune
And until then, I´m content
Biding time on the fence in the woods I know

So please forgive me if I seem half there
I can´t halt those old emotions
Even though that chapter has closed
But I see the honesty that shines in you
And I´m impressed that I´ve found that you´re still hanging around
And I´m surprised at the sounds coming out of my mouth
When I say:
Okay, lets give it a go.
