He's from the jungle 
Raw, pure, untouched to love
Virgin to heartbreak 
But I feel his heartbeat 
Fast, anxious 
Ready for love 
But his wall won't come down 

Hiding his heart away as if it's a burden to feel something
Solid is what your heart is 
But you touched my heart with soft hands 

My roots are not strong enough to touch you 
Through this wall that you have up 
He's from the jungle 
And my heart is wild
My roots untamed
Ready to spread 
Still can't reach you 

He is the land 
I am the seeds
I'm standing still
Outside his wall asking to take a chance on love 

I want us to grow
I want to love you 
But I can't get through 

What do I do. . .
