Unthawed by Melodie Yvonne
You’re all that I am and all that I’m not
I’m nobody’s girl but your web’s got me caught
Not sure what I’m doing feelin’ this way
But the way that I’m feelin’ keeps makin’ me stay
Sittin’ here frozen with fear on your couch
Torn between touchin’ and runnin’ right out
But how can I keep this cold petrified stature
When warm cozy cuddlin’ is what you are after
Sittin’ here frozen with fear ‘round my heart
Keepin’ it froze so it don’t fall apart
But how will I keep this cold petrified pump
When your warm blooded soul tries to give me a jump
You’re all that I am and all that I got
I’m falling too deep and no bottom to stop
And I already know you won’t be there to catch me
I guess I’m just hopin’ your soul won’t forget me
Sittin’ here frozen with fear on your couch
Torn between touchin’ and runnin’ right out
But how can I keep this cold petrified stature
When warm cozy cuddlin’ is what you are after
Sittin’ here frozen with fear ‘round my heart
Keepin’ it froze so it don’t fall apart
But how will I keep this cold petrified pump
When your warm blooded soul tries to give me a jump
You’re all that I was but now I’m just not
I’m runnin’ away and I’ll never be caught
‘Cause it’s just all scary the way that you get me
And soon I just know that you’re gonna forget me
Sittin’ here frozen with fear round my heart
Keepin’ it froze so it don’t fall apart
But how will I keep this cold petrified pump
When your warm blooded soul just keeps makin’ me jump
How will I keep myself frozen?
