Risk Lyrics
Deftones
Lyrics
You can't talk
I'm anxious
I'm off the walls
I'm right here just
Come outside
And see it
But pack your heart
You might need it
I'll find a way
I'll confuse them
But I think I can try
I will save your life
I will save your life
I'll try for you
You're locked up
You exhaled
You did it before
I seen it
Come outside
And breathe in
Relax your arms
And let me in
I'll find a way
I'll confuse them
But I think I can try
I will save your life
I will save your life
I'll try for you
I know what to say
To take you
Higher, higher
No one else can
Take you higher
But I will try
I'll find a way
I'll confuse them
But I think I can try
I will save your life
I will save your life
I'll try
I'll find a way
I'll confuse them
But I think I can try
I will save your life
I will save your life
I'll try for you
For you
