Story Behind The Song

After a great loss in her life she recovered and carried on...the best way she knew how. That meant letting people in just so far. Then the day came (at last) when her heart was once again of one piece, and she was ready to let someone reach it. But she was so accustomed to keeping her distance, dancing just out of reach, that no one made it in. So she faced her fear and invited someone to beat her at the game she played so well. To win the game and reach her heart.

Song Description

This song is a plea for you to stand your ground and not let me push you away. An invitation to break through the walls and find me waiting vulnerable inside.

Lyrics

INVITATION

You scare me when you stand so close
I've grown accustomed to being alone
I run when I mean to stay
I don't know why. I'm just make that way

I've kept my distance so safe so well
I have stumbled but I never fell
I've danced this dance alone so long
If you want to join me
You'll have to be strong

I can't promise I will stand right here
And let you love me, you know I know this fear

It keeps me running but hold on tight
If you don't give in then I just might
Stand my ground and let you be
The one to reach this part of me

Make your way
Make your way inside me
I'll look up and I will see you don't give up
You've almost broken through

I can see you from behind this wall
Take one step closer and it might fall

It might fall and I might crumble too
But if you take my hand I can walk right through
Through the rubble into your arms
Taste you touch you with all your charms

Make your way
Make your way inside me
I'll look up and I will see you don't give up
You've almost broken through BRIDGE:

This is an invitation...

To make your way
Make your way inside me
Inside me
Inside me
Inside me
