Winston, Charlie - Fear & Love Lyrics

Looking into a life created
A simple thing, yet so complicated
One step forward, two step back
Mouse on a wheel in a big mouse trap
The pitter patter of repeated patterns
Positive, yet you’re so uncertain
A line is drawn and a line is crossed
Slipping up on the under frost

The balance of fear and love
Keeps a good man in line
The skin gets thicker, seizes up
Glimpsing his years in an empty cup
The balance of fear and love
Makes a good girl in time
Shaping the world with a wilted wand
Awaiting the day when the wind may take her
Off her feet

Everyone wants someone to follow
To turn another grey day to yellow
If trust breaks like a lightning bolt
It takes a test to be fixing faults
I’ve heard words fly on electric currents
A look in the eye like an unborn torrent
Does it take a trophy to turn a page
And pass through life as a jilted sage

The balance of fear and love
Keeps a good man in line
The skin gets thicker, seizes up
Glimpsing his years in an empty cup
The balance of fear and love
Makes a good girl in time
Shaping the world with a wilted wand
Awaiting the day when the wind may take her
Off her feet

(Oh, let it rain in hell, let it rain in hell)
Off her feet

The balance of fear and love
Keeps a good man in line
The skin gets thicker, seizes up
Glimpsing his years in an empty cup
The balance of fear and love
Makes a good girl in time
Shaping the world with a wilted wand
Awaiting the day when the wind may take her...
