Consequences

The troops are falling back
In the face the advance I'm left defenseless.
When all is said and done
My heart is pounding on the run my mind is senseless.

I wish I had known this before
I let this sink in…
The circumstance that stands between
What I want and what I should do.

Well darlin' these are the consequences
Of trying to love with all your defenses.
What else is going to happen when you're scared
and dancing on fences.
I'm begging you surrender
And let me fall in love again.

You feel it coming up
The fear is writhing in your gut,
And all you want to do
Is to stop the fears eluding you from your life.

Box up your heart, hand it to another.
then snatch it right back and run for cover.

These are the consequences
Of trying to love with all your defenses.
What else is going to happen when you're scared
and dancing on fences.
I'm begging you surrender
And let me fall in love again.

These are the consequences
Of trying to love with all your defenses.
What else is going to happen when you're scared
and dancing on fences.
I'm begging you surrender
And let me fall in love again.
