Seems my own arrogance
Has knocked me off my feet again
When you know I'm crawling to you
As fast as I can
First teach me to walk
Then I'll learn to dance for you
Like an honest clumsy clown
Tripping along the way

'Cause I am reaching for you
But my arms aren't long enough
And I am running to you
If I could go a little faster
And I am crying to you
But I can't hear my own voice
And I am waiting for you
And trying not to fall asleep now

And I am clumsily dancing away this fear
I am stumbling closer to you and I am
Tumbling over my pride
I will be a fool for you

What are you thinking as you look down on me
Are you frustrated with my inconsistency
Or intrigued that I can find the will to get back up or
Maybe all of this is simply amusing

'Cause I am reaching for you
But my arms aren't long enough
And I am running to you
If I could go a little faster
And I am crying to you
But I can't hear my own voice
And I am waiting for you
And trying not to fall asleep now

And I am clumsily dancing away this fear
I am stumbling closer to you and I am
Tumbling over my pride
I will be a fool for you

And I am clumsily dancing away this fear
I am stumbling closer to you and I am
Tumbling over my pride
I will be a fool for you

And I am clumsily dancing away this fear
I am stumbling closer to you and I am
Tumbling over my pride
I will be a fool for you
