There's a place in my heart
Nobody's 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
I'm truth and admission
I'm 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 you've heard me before
It's 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
There'll be wires and circuits
And hope and passion
I'm afraid of rejection
If I stride right through I'm 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
