I'm watching TV alone. I thought I'd stay home and watch while time flies by. Will someone tell me where's your self control? What are we fighting for? It Keeps me alive, don't ask me why. You don't understand, this means everything you say to me and I scream out my throat. And if anything it was something I said, but it meant nothing to me. The stations open all night. I came back and realized that I'm still in one piece. Can someone find me a broken stereo? So keep the volume low and shield your eyes for my surprise. Because I'm ready to stay. With every ounce of strength I have I'll make sure this won't go to waste and I'll stay right in my place. This means everything.
You keep asking me to question all the things that I already said before. You're under my skin, screaming from within. I hope you can at least pretend that you feel content with me. Refine all the dead ends and restart where this begins. I'm convinced that there's no evidence. I can't stand when you tell me I'm not the same. Nothing has changed. I'm through with your excuses and I'm not the one you should blame. Take this from me because you're going to need it. With all the sacrifices made and you're still waiting. You're second guessing again in the same direction that got us nowhere... Which path should I take? Don't tell me there's no truth. What should we believe when you're laughing at every photograph you see? I'm convinced that there's no evidence.
As the story unfolds we're making headlines, we follow headlights all the way back home. A change of heart we're switching lanes. Time pulsing through each vein. Drive me far away from here. And every thought you still remain a dark cloud that never rains. I'll be fine if you're still here. Anything to make it clear. Time turns back when you say "it doesn't get much better than this." Be honest with me. Because I'm getting closer and more unsure how to handle all the right mistakes. I can't relate to anyone but you. You keep me waiting patiently in the passenger seat. How can you handle this heat? All my senses start to release when my feet hit the street. I guess this is running away and nothing's gonna make me stay.
Drowning yourself in caffeine somewhere far in between the city and the shows upstate. The evening sinks in. You're calling from payphones and I know it's never what it seems. Will I regret calling you back? You're never what you seem. When I'm asking you to let this go and it's in your voice, it let's me know that I can't find a way to get through you. If I see you there I'll be wondering if this is really worth waiting for. The obvious things you don't see. You're still stuck underneath and finding a way back home. So gather your thoughts, it's exactly what you ned. And I know exactly what you need. Will you regreat calling me back? Exactly what you need. We still play this game where I stand outside and wait covered in rain. I hope she knows. I hope you know.
Close your eyes and forget the last six years that we spent breaking out, breaking in, running in circles again. To keep your hearts on call, for too long too late. Feeling this strong, you've been gone for so long. Remember way back when? We'd play it off as friends. This nightmare never ends. Why can't we exist? Staying away saved me from chasing your old ways. Our golden days. You're tracing patterns. You're too routine for me. But it gets strange how some things never change. Stop thinking what you're feeling. Everything I say comes out wrong. There's no reason to give in, if it takes this long.
