This sounds kinda strange, I thought I saw you at a party but I finally got close, it wasn't you I know we don't talk right now But if I saw you, I'd sit down And ask about your afternoon You made it clear that it's over now But you're all that I think about So now I don't know what the hell to do 'Cause I've got a soft spot I've got it for you It for you We used to lie in bed and talk For hours about everything And anything you said you wanted to Pull the covers over our short hair Pretend like the city wasn't there Like it was only just us two You told me that it's over now But I can't help that I think about All the things that we used to do 'Cause I've got a soft spot I've got it for you It for you I wish I left all my things at your place so I could come get them We'd do things we might regret And say that we could make exceptions I just can't take the rejection Maybe I'm just second-guessing 'Cause I've got a soft spot I've got it for you It for you It for you It for you It for you

I could have you up in arms And I could have you singing I'm a confident speaker I could tell you anything I was standing on the table Legs by the light right near the window I could see them walking past They were laughing, no one we know They caught me by the ankles and they shook me out My brain is fuzzy I'm a sugar coated pill and I'm a pick me up And put me down again They hollowed me out, wore me like a glove I shook so many hands I've been dreaming of You can use my rib cage as a pillow It doesn't suit me I feel flimsy when I grin Like a stretched out piece of skin You can beat the dust straight out of me I'll come clean in the end I really like the yellow 'round the edges Of my bruises as they mend They took me by the ankles and they shook me out My brain turned fuzzy I'm a sugar coated pill and I'm a pick me up And put me down again They hollowed me out, wore me like a glove I shook so many hands I've been dreaming of

I needed someone to depend upon I was alone, I was emotional Searching for the right emoticon To expand my mental lexicon Then Gemma told me that she met someone It was the person I'd been counting on It felt good, it felt transitional A feeling I'd been waiting on You were floating like a lilo With your eyes closed, going where the tide goes Caught in flux, you drifted 'til you hit the sides Hold my breath another minute I can keep my head, there's nothing in it I'm a patient wave And it's an easy ride I saw myself an intellectual I thought that I was capable Every move was just habitual And life was just a ritual Then Gemma told me that she met somebody Nobody else could take me from myself I wasn't searching for it anymore The feeling I'd been waiting for You were floating like a lilo With your eyes closed, going where the tide goes Caught in flux, you drifted 'til you hit the sides Hold my breath another minute I can keep my head, there's nothing in it I'm a patient wave (I'm a patient wave) And it's an easy ride Floating like a lilo with you Going where the tide goes Floating like a lilo with you Going where the tide goes Floating like a Floating like a Floating like a Floating like a You were floating like a lilo With your eyes closed, going where the tide goes Caught in flux, you drifted 'til you hit the sides Hold my breath another minute I can keep my head, there's nothing in it I'm a patient wave (I'm a patient wave) And it's an easy ride

Sooner or later, you'll find yourself right where you were On the corner, went looking for her She had something to tell you, she can't quite remember But wait for a second, it always comes back to her You always come back to her You're still on her time, wherever you are You don't wanna go in, so you sit in the car And you wait for a feeling, it never quite hits And you wait for the moment she reaches your lips She never quite hits She'll do that thing where she sits at your feet And it used to be so hot, now it's just sweet You start to cry and she can't help but laugh She says, "Try to enjoy it as long as it lasts" Sometimes when you are alone, you can't look in her eyes 'Cause it's like you are reading a book And her pages are turning so fast in a glance You can see how it ends and you wish that you couldn't, oh-oh 'Cause it always comes back to her You always come back to her I drove to the ocean to see the sunset I was on the wrong side of the cliff, so I left I got talking to someone, I gave her a lift to the station She waved as she ran for her train And she had no idea she was making my day Sooner or later, you'll find yourself right where you were On the corner, went looking for her She had something to tell you, she can't quite remember But wait for a second, it always comes back to her You always come back to her You always come back to her (always come back to her) You always come back to her (always come back to her)

If you're going away Why'd you say something that made me believe That you just might stay? 'Cause you're right and I'm trying To change myself but it's tiring And I go to bed and I'm crying 'Cause it's sad to breathe the air when you're not there 'Cause you're right and I'm trying To change myself but it's tiring And I go to bed and I'm crying 'Cause it's sad to breathe the air when you're not there I forget I can't tell if the things I have, I just don't want Or the things I want, I just don't get 'Cause you're right and I'm trying To change myself but it's tiring And I go to bed and I'm crying 'Cause it's sad to breathe the air when you're not there Sad to breathe the air when you're not there When you're not there, when you're not there A love that didn't last Do I chase the train you're riding on Or sit back and wait as it goes past? 'Cause you're right and I'm trying To change myself but it's tiring And I go to bed and I'm crying 'Cause it's sad to breathe the air when you're not there Sad to breathe the air when you're not there Sad to breathe the air when you're not there (when you're not there, when you're not there) Sad to breathe the air when you're not there When you're not there, when you're not there

I saw you in a dream, you had stayed the same You were beckoning me, said that I had changed Tried to keep my eyes closed, I want you so bad Then I awoke and it was so sad Haven't talked to you in months And I thought that I might cry But I'm not that kind of guy I saw you in a dream, you came to me You were the sweetest apparition, such a pretty vision There was no reason, no explanation The perfect hallucination All good things come to an end But I thought that this might last But you came and left so fast And when I'm awake, I can't switch off It isn't the same but it is enough (It isn't the same but it is enough) I saw you in a dream, then it came to an end I wonder if you'll come and visit me again You're taking your time to reappear I'm starting to believe that when I call your name You just don't hear me anymore And I know that I shouldn't even try It's a waste of time And when I'm awake, I can't switch off It isn't the same but it is enough (It isn't the same but it is enough) And when I'm awake, I can't switch off It isn't the same but it is enough It isn't the same but it is enough
