Less Afraid With You

Less afraid with you

I can tell you what I feel

I am scared to say I care

Less afraid with you

Your coat is folded on my chair

October cools the window glass

I turn my cup between my hands

You give me time instead of asking

I practice once beneath my breath

Then let you hear the words I mean

Less afraid with you

I can tell you what I feel

I am scared to say I care

Less afraid with you

We leave the dishes where they are

Your sleeve brushes the kitchen door

I ask if you could stay a while

You pull your chair across the floor

You cannot promise how this goes

I can still tell you what I hope

Less afraid with you

I can tell you what I feel

I am scared to say I care

Less afraid with you

You hear me through the shaking words
