Doesn't always have to be this way Stuck on the tip of your tongue Both professionals at mind games Interpretation all wrong Now we're on a roll, roll around Bouncing off the walls I just wish that i could sleep for a week like a freak And forget it all Waking up slowly, slowly fall Turning thought in to feeling, feeling low Why don't you take the stage and I'll shed the light On the beautiful mess we've made Communicate You've gotta tell me how it is I've gotta tell you what i want How will i know what you need If we do everything but talk You've gotta tell me how it is I've gotta tell you what i want How will i know what you need If we do everything but talk We both agree i'm not a superman, no that would be absurd But if i was i'd get a hold of the wall, make it fall, undoing all your hard work Break it down slowly, slowly fall Turning all that we held in out on show Why don't you take the stage and i'll shed the light On the beautiful mess we've made Communicate You've gotta tell me how it is I've gotta tell you what i want How will i know what you need If we do everything but talk You've gotta tell me how it is I've gotta tell you what i want How will i know what you need If we do everything but talk Put them where they don't belong I hate that broken record song And you don't want to wait that long And i don't tell you when I'm home And I've still got to meet your mum There's so many things to get so wrong I wish that we communicated You've gotta tell me how it is I've gotta tell you what i want How will i know what you need If we do everything but talk You've gotta tell me how it is I've gotta tell you what i want How will i know what you need If we do everything but talk
