Thereâs a place in my heart
Nobodyâs ever been
Likes to tear itself down
Have I ever loved anything?
Plated and uncased, flowed by design
If you can get below the surface
There is lightning inside
Iâm truth and admission
Iâm afraid of rejection
If I struck down, too, the shield is his only protection
Down to the wire, down to the wire
Down to the wire, take me down
I still cry in my sleep
I know youâve heard me before
Itâs that reoccurring dream
Where I would never learn to mourn
Then the forces in my head
I can get them to quiet
Cut your love feed and buy none
Thereâll be wires and circuits
And hope and passion
Iâm afraid of rejection
If I stride right through Iâm bound to make that connection
Down to the wire, down to the wire
Down to the wire, take me down
You can dig deeper than anyone before
Throw the hinges off the door
See my beauty, see my disgrace
Will you still know my face
When we go down to the wire
Down to the wire, down to the wire
Take me down
Down to the wire, down to the wire
Down to the wire, take me down
