Paralyzed Lyrics – David Archuleta

I hold on when I should let go

I wait to think when I really know

What should have been washed away a million years ago

I wake up to another day

Another chance to get out of my own way

I can’t move and wonder why

I’m paralyzed

By the pull of the tide that I’m under

By the strength, by the sound of the thunder

By the force, by the fear of the waking

The crash of the waves that could rip me away

I’m paralyzed

I’m paralyzed

It cuts deep, the shattered glass

The perfect picture frames I once had

Trying to rise up from the ash

Breaking myself from these chains that I’m making

The anchor’s here holding me down

Breaking myself from these chains that I’m making

The anchor’s here holding me down

I’m paralyzed

By the pull of the tide that I’m under

By the strength, by the sound of the thunder

By the force, by the fear of the waking

The crash of the waves that could rip me away

I’m paralyzed

I’m paralyzed

Breaking myself from these chains that I’m making

The anchor’s here holding me down

Breaking myself from these chains that I’m making

The anchor’s here holding me down

Breaking myself from these chains that I’m making

The anchor’s here holding me down

Breaking myself from these chains that I’m making

The anchor’s here holding me down

I’m paralyzed

I’m paralyzed

By the pull of the tide that I’m under

By the strength, by the sound of the thunder

By the force, by the fear of the waking

The crash of the waves that could rip me away
