lyrics

I wish that I could
reach up from the depths of me
To see my dirty hands try to touch your cheek
I’ve waited all damn week
And now the feeling grows
It’s slips off my fingers
It digs into my bones
I get the feeling I should go
Cause it’s unrelenting

And If I let it go
Do I waste the time we spent
And if I never make it home
Would I ruin all you’ve dreamt
I need to stay to find my place
I cant run away
I see your face subsiding
And you’re staring me down

Did they take your soul
In the depths of a warm smile
Did you leave your mark
On the face of a lonely grave
The silhouette it makes me cold
It throws me in bed
Then it grabs me by the throat
I think that I should make it known
That it’s condescending

And if I let it go
Do I waste the time we spent
And if I never make it home
Would it ruin all you’ve dreamt
I need to stay to find my place
I cant run away
I see your face subsiding
And you’re staring me down

Saw you waiting
By the porch light again
I was too late
But never again
Saw you waiting
By the porch light again

I saw you waiting
By the porch again
I saw you waiting
But never again

I need you to believe in me
More than I deserve
I need you to believe in me
