The Black Keys - Too afraid to love you

My gears, they grind more each day
And I feel like they're gonna grind away
And the city blocks, they drive my wild
The never-ending mile after mile
I just don't know what to do
I'm too afraid to love you

It's heaven on earth, it's in her embrace
A gentle touch and a smiling face
I'm just one wishing that I was a pair
With someone oh somewhere
I just don't know what to do
I'm too afraid to love you

All those sleepless nights
And all those wasted days
I wish loneliness would leave me
But I think it's here to stay
What more can I do?
Cause I'm wringing myself dry
And I can't afford to lose one more tear drop from my eye

Too afraid
I'm too afraid
Just don't know what to do
With myself
Thinking all about you
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
Driving me out of my mind

I surely would

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail.
Yes I would,
If I could,
I surely would.

Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world
Its saddest sound,
Its saddest sound.

I'd rather be a hammer than a nail.
Yes I would,
If I only could,
I surely would.

Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world
Its saddest sound,
Its saddest sound.

I'd rather be a forest than a street.
Yes I would.
If I could,
I surely would.

Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world
Its saddest sound,
Its saddest sound.

I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet,
Yes I would.
If I only could,
I surely would.
