Oh I talk too much- I get told a lot
If I talk but don't touch, will I still get caught?
I don't usually get all worked up like this
but I don't usually let your name leave my lips
Oh it's something I can't say
I should keep you far away
Learn to live with what I've got:
I can only have you in my thoughts
It's the way I waste so much of my time
Wondering how you'd taste, wishing you were mine
Maybe I mistook, maybe it's unwise,
I can't help but look right into your eyes
Oh it's something I can't say
I should keep you far away
Learn to live with what I've got:
I can only have you in my thoughts
I can only have you in my thoughts
Learn to live with what I've got:
I can only have you in my thoughts

A woman who gets paid to give advice
told me to make a list of everything I'd miss
If you were not a presence in my life:
I can give me that myself or get it from someone else
I cannot tell if you encourage it
or if I just confuse affection's many hues
and maybe this was building since we met
you always make me sing even when I'm questioning
but I don't want to tell you
'cause I don't want to change things
I don't want to tell you
'cause I don't want your pity
I don't want to tell you
'cause it feels good when it's not bad
I don't want to tell you
but I don't want to be this sad
Do we both wear fiction like a mask?
A subtext for to hide what was bubbling inside
I can only hope you'll never ask
You know as well as I, I was never going to lie
but I don't want to tell you
'cause I don't want to change things
I don't want to tell you
'cause I don't want your pity
I don't want to tell you
'cause it feels good when it's not bad
I don't want to tell you
but I don't want to be this sad

How'd I get so shook up? We didn't even touch
I just looked across at how you cross your legs
How'd it come to this? Keeping a running list
To recontextualize the things you've said
Oh I know it's a bad idea- I don't get many
You just bring the bad ideas out in me
Yeah I know it's a big mistake, but I want to make it
So don't you give me the chance, 'cause I will take it
Surely you can tell, you always read me so well
I don't want to hide, I want you to find me out
Break my little rules, not to be alone with you
not to sit so close to you on the couch
Oh I know it's a bad idea- I don't get many
You just bring the bad ideas out in me
Yeah I know it's a big mistake, but I want to make it
So don't you give me the chance, 'cause I will take it
If I wasn't who I was would you ever push me past that line?
If I wasn't who I was would I let myself be satisfied?
If I wasn't who I was would this still keep me awake at night?
If I wasn't who I was
Oh I know it's a bad idea- I don't get many
You just bring the bad ideas out in me
Yeah I know it's a big mistake, but I want to make it
So don't you give me the chance, 'cause I will take it

I don't want to be awake, I don't want to be asleep
I waited too long to take the trash out this week
I don't want to be on the internet, I don't want to be seen
Can I just fast forward to the spring?
'Cause I feel powerless, like nothing's ever gonna get better
Oh this emptiness creeps in with the colder weather
I don't need to know what the temperature in Cupertino is today
I don't want to see the news, I don't want to see my friends
Don't want to write answers to messages they don't send
I don't want to step outside; I've got no gardens to tend.
I've got empty pockets but I still spend

I don't have any big aspirations
the ones who know me say I am patient
and I don't carry no expectations
I just look forward to our conversations
Is it an exercise? A way to pass my time?
Oh do you recognize me? Is it only in my mind?
Do I make your day better? Do you find what I find?
In a week of bad weather could I be your sunshine?
I see you smile, I see your curly hair
It takes a while for you to see me standing there
Then you come closer a secret for to share
Are your footsteps lighter? Do you care like I care?
Is it an exercise? A way to pass my time?
Oh do you recognize me? Is it only in my mind?
Do I make your day better? Do you find what I find?
In a week of bad weather could I be your sunshine?
