If I could only wait until she died
She tried to hold me and say a prayer
I said I want her to know me, I see the fear that's in her eyes
But if I'm unholy, why'm I alive
Two hours in the hallway, I held it in like always
I tried to take the high way, but then I lied and said goodnight
I wish that I knew you, 'cause I really want to
Hear all of the ways you would talk me down
I hate bein' lonely, hate wishin' you'd hold me, hate knowin' we can't speak
'Till then I'll talk me down
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
See her light through the doorway, late nights, I've memorized
All the steps with the noise, I can hear my heart pound
Two hours in the hallway, I held it in like always
I tried to take the high way, but then I lied and said goodnight
I wish that I knew you, cause I really want to
Hear all of the ways you would talk me down
I hate bein' lonely, hate wishin' you'd hold me, hate knowin' we can't speak
'Till then I'll talk me down
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
I know it's been a long time comin'
I know it's been a long time runnin'
I guess I wish I could ask you somethin'
How do I make you out of nothin'
I wish that I knew you, cause I really want to
Hear all of the ways you would talk me down
I hate being lonely, hate wishin' you'd hold me, hate knowin' we can't speak
I wish that I knew you, cause I really want to
Hear all of the ways you would talk me down
I hate bein' lonely, hate wishin' you'd hold me, hate knowin' we can't speak
'Till then I'll talk me down
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
'Till then I'll talk me down
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
'Till then I'll talk me down
