"This song, like a host of our others, focuses around the struggle of being in my mid-20s and having no direction in life. I find it difficult to engage in relationships, doing something so emotionally distancing as music is, on the side. It's hard to leave enough of you open to relationships and life, when you're baring everything once or twice a week at shows. It's fucking tiring."
- Danny
lyrics
It's even when you need me,
Oh, so I've been waiting,
Oh, but I'll still wait 'til I'm hurting, 'til you cut me off.
It's evil how you tease me,
Loneliness is taking over the embracing of being free,
'Til you want me back home.
Don't mean to pry,
But are you gonna be here in the morning?
To my surprise you say "is that alright, love?" X2
(Chorus)
Because you're way to close to me,
But you're way too far to see the big picture,
You and I, you and I, we want different things.
At night I feel a weakness,
Lying in bed and I'm lying again when I got home, at like 4am.
It's painful to hear this, it's not always the things you say it's the way you see it, that broke us up
I don't mean to pry,
But are you gonna be here in the morning?
And to my surprise you say "is that alright, love?"
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
You and I, you and I, we want different things x4
(Chorus) X2
I'm sorry I cried, but I thought you might need me in the morning,
You said that you'd try, but I guess you lied.
