Averi Numb Lyrics

Numb Lyrics

I’ve been warring with myself.

I’ve wrestled these ideas and all these things I’ve felt. 

And I don’t feel any better. 

The war goes on but whatever. 

We all think too much.

I guess I sat here just hoping that all these things you were throwing

Would reassure my uncertainties.



I start to choose a direction 

When you shake your head and I question the steps I start to take.

And I’m sure the view is breathtaking 

If I could only step to that ledge.



They take a picture of you at the top.

Did you smile when the flash went off?



If I stop to catch my breath could you please slow up?

Because it hurts that much when my lungs are numb.

If I hint at giving in, remind me I’m strong

And I need to be where I want to belong.



It takes time to feel sure about this.

Security is something I can’t quite grab a hold of yet.

I start to lose my direction when you choke on your words

And I question the steps I start to take.

Words are not necessary. So instead of that could you maybe 

Just let me go my way?



They take a picture of you at the top.

Did you smile when the flash went off?



If I stop to catch my breath could you please slow up?

Because it hurts that much when my lungs are numb.

If I hint at giving in, remind me I’m strong

And I need to be where I want to belong.

I’m naked for the world.

And it’s chilling to be outside,

Where I can’t see anything in front of me clearly.



It’s a right of passage.

Like a child in it’s adolescence.

It’s a passing storm and I can only wait it out.



So I wait it out, with our without you.



If I stop to catch my breath could you please slow up?

Because it hurts that much when my lungs are numb.

If I hint at giving in, remind me I’m strong

And I need to be where I want to belong.

I’m naked for the world.

And it’s chilling to be outside,

Where I can’t see anything in front of me clearly.
