You know I'll still be half asleep and wide awake
Waiting on you
Waiting for you
To light up and say
"Hey baby what's on your mind?"
Give me that time of day
And I'll comply
Love me for me and my way of life
But when I'm near you I can't really feel a thing
And when I'm near you I'll be thinking bout a ring
But I can't be myself when I'm near you
It's someone else
It's someone else
I ain't ever been myself before
I ain't ever taken that risk for no one
Much less me
It's sad I know it
Can't really stop thinking bout it
Can I really still live without it?
Living like reflections do
Like a mirror image
Fearing how the future seemed so far away
And now I see how that's insane
But when I'm near you I can't really feel a thing
And when I'm near you I'll be thinking bout a ring
But I can't be myself when I'm near you
It's someone else
It's someone else
(Help my aching heart
So I walk in the light)
Moving in circles
Round and round we go
Patterns on patterns
Running much deeper than we know
If only I could have taken that space
But that's on me
That's on me
That's on me
Somebody hold me
Hold me, please
Somebody hold me
