I try to quiet myself down
So hard to do when you’re around.
Nobody ever talks me down the way you do.
You like your coffee with no cream
You always say just what you mean
But lines will never blur between just friends.
And I, well I get by,
But it’s hard to find someone like you.
CHORUS
But you’re the one I want tonight
And you’re the one I want tomorrow
And you’re the one that’s in my sight
Without you all this is a half-life.
Half-life.
Feels like nobody else can see
Through all my damage and debris
That there is more than just the me you’ve known forever.
I try to give this love a name
But it puts adjectives to shame
Look at the mess that I became from all this wondering.
And I, well I do try,
But no other high compares to you.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Oh, it’s so hard getting through to you.
Oh, why can’t you say all the things I do.
Oh, if only you’d see me the way I see you.
