Chapters

You wanna stay with me in the morning, but you only hold me when I sleep. And I was made to tread the water, but now I've gotten in too deep. For every piece of me that wants you, another piece fights away. 'Cause you give me something that makes me scared, all right. This could be nothing, but I'm willing to give it a try. Please give me something, something we might know. Oh, my heart. You only waited up for hours to spend a little time alone with me. I could say I've never bought you flowers 'cause I can't work out what they mean. I never thought that I'd love someone That was someone else's dream. 'Cause you give me something, makes me scared, all right. This could be nothing, but I'm willing to give it a try. Please give me something. 'Cause you give me something, makes me scared, all right. This could be Nothing, but I'm willing to give it a try. Please give me something, something we might know. Oh, my heart. Know my heart, know my heart, know my heart. I said, know my heart, know my heart, know my heart. Know my heart, know my heart, know my heart.
Ah.
Hmm, what else is there out there in the world? Let's see. Ah, hmm.
There you go.
I don't know what's going on there. Don't know. I am driving down 85 in the kind of morning that lies so low. Fuck me.
