revised repeat

i can do it all again
     with you
      for you
i can dance myself
       back in
i can lay myself
       back down
i can present you
   with much drama
        and myth
i can lead you
    to a
  higher ground
then love you
    guilt-free
 and tear you down
  but i can't go back
 to who i was
i won't surrender completely
     because
i'm built to last
   and the past 
    was too deep
so you can sleep
  -i'll stay awake
 and guard the treasure
    and watch it
      break
