Tell me like it is I know, I know you are I know you are Tell me baby, tell me How many more times will you see your face in the mirror? How many more times for a sunset or a full moon? Or dream or eat, or dream or sleep Or dream or eat, or sleep? You write yourself into your songs When people sing them back they always sing the words wrong But the songs are something certain to me And mama always said, "Blood is thicker than water" Conversation deep like water The sky is open and limitless Tell me like it is I know, I know you are I know you are Tell me baby, tell me ♪ How many more times will you count back from ten? How many times for a handshake or to blow off plans? Or dream or eat? Or dream or sleep? Sunken eyes, the new dawn You change your mind But when all is said and done You still write yourself into these songs Papa always said, "Blood is thicker than water" Dedication deep like water Our future is open and limitless ♪ Tell me like it is I know, I know you are I know you are Tell me baby, tell me I don't wanna go Feel it like you could There's something in your eyes Wasted all my time Wasted all my time Come on, my love Come on, my babe Come on, girl, I know I don't know what I could do Without a place to go Something in my heart Doesn't have the feel Doesn't have the feel anymore Come on baby There can only be a place I don't wanna go no more This is the one today This is the one today This is the one today No No, no, no, no
