I'm finding my way back to sanity again 
Though I don't really know what I'm gonna do when I get there 
I take a breath and hold on tight 
Spin around one more time 
And gracefully fall back to the arms of grace 

'Cause I am hanging on every word you're saying 
Even if you don't wanna speak tonight 
That's alright, alright with me 
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit outside heaven's door 
And listen to you breathing 
It's where I wanna be, yeah 
Where I wanna be 

I'm looking past the shadows in my mind into the truth 
And I'm trying to identify the voices in my head 
God wish won't you 
Let me feel one more time what if feels like to feel 
And break these calluses off me one more time 

'Cause I am hanging on every word you're saying 
Even if you don't wanna speak tonight 
That's alright, alright with me 
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit outside of your door 
And listen to you breathing 
It's where I wanna be, yeah 

Oh I don't want a thing from you 
Bet you're tired of me waiting for 
The scraps to fall off of your table to the ground 
La da da da
'Cause I just wanna be here now 

'Cause I am hanging on every word you're saying 
Even if you don't wanna speak tonight 
That's alright, alright with me 
Cause I want nothing more than to sit outside heaven's door 
And listen to you breathing 
Its where I wanna be, yeah 
Where I wanna be 

'Cause I am hanging on every word you're saying 
Even if you don't wanna speak tonight 
That's alright, alright with me 
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit outside heaven's door 
And listen to you breathing 
It's where I wanna be, yeah 
Where I wanna be
