There's just no way to say how much I love you
You never make me cry and that's just fine
I've only got my fear to burn above me
You know we all get scared from time to time

Love me with your head and heart
Love me from the place it starts
Love me with your head and heart
Love me like a child

There's just no way to play the things I'm feelin'
No way to tell you all the things you mean
Every day I only feel like stealin'
Away to where I know I can be free

Love me with your head and heart
Love me from the place it starts
Love me with your head and heart
Love me when I'm wild

Laying down the ways to say I need you
Scared of lookin' tall and feeling small
Running through the days I have beside you
Scared of being wrong, and that's it all

Love me with your head and heart
Love me from the place it starts
Love me with your head and heart
Love me like a child

Love me with your head and heart
Love me from the place it starts
Love me with your head and heart
Love me like a child
