The Shakes - The Metro Fantastic

When I don't call and you wait I guess it seems I'm abominable Then I'm late and I sleep in I feel like a criminal Late at night, we're in bed I can be like a dog The heating's off, and you're warm I don't feel like catching a cold In any case, you don't care You don't feel like rubbing it in When I'm outside in the pouring rain I know you'll let me in I give you all that I got You never have to ask You give me love and I know that it's The best I'll ever have, and that's why Hey my babe I can't sleep when you're not in town Hope that you know I get the shakes when you're not around In my window You see a sad pathetic clown I want you to know I get the shakes when you're not around Now it's you and it's me I can't believe we've been alone Spread apart sharing laughs and tears Over the telephone Said and done, set in stone, You've given me another chance A thousand miles or one inch Doesn't make a difference

I'm never gonna fight again— If not for love, where would I be? My heart on cruise? I'm never gonna fight for a seat Just stand up for all things good; Like we could, like we should (HEY) I'm never gonna fight again— "We need to talk" but not to end If for one thing, let it begin for our livin' With little limits I'd beg to take your gun I'd shine to be your one (Do you know) I'm feelin' like we never got it good (Where this goes?) I'm feelin' like we never understood (Life goes on and on) Feelin' like we kinda really could If we could, then we should Take what missin' with our kissin' Let the movement take control Learn to make more of this moment With our bodies and our souls And when the time feels right We'll make it on the try There's no need, let this be, You and me We can get it if we like I'm never gonna find this again If not for you where would I be We learn a lot of things from you, from me YOU are my ending here
