Foreign fingers, unfamiliar eyes
But the newborn light in ’em lingers when you smile
And it’s like you are the only way to morning
It’s like you are a shelter and it’s pouring out
And you aren’t coming down

When the sun falls on your face just right, you look like you’re ablaze
I count every second they stretch into minutes, I could watch you here for days
So take me limb for limb
Yeah, this is my anatomy
Take me as I am if you wanna be a part of me

I come with no pretension, no plastic in my bones
But my spine still carries tension from the road
I hope you see I’m trying to be honest
I hope you see my truth is like a promise
I swear this is what you’re getting here

You asked me all the right questions, I gave all the wrong replies
You tore down my skin and you saw that within, I am bare with no disguise
Tracing scars beneath your thumb
Yeah, this is my anatomy
Take me as I am if you wanna be a part of me

It’s like you are the only way to morning
So please don’t leave me dark and ever-yearning for you
It’s all I know how to do

When I’m built back by patience and love, by battle, by willpower, by strength
I’ll stretch out my arms and I’ll wait for the warmth that I know will come someday
Till then, this is where I stand
Yeah, this is my anatomy
Take me as I am if you wanna be a part of me
Take me as I am
Take me as I am, this is my anatomy
