The kitchen is cold
|
But the coffee is warm
|
And the sun's coming up
|
The day has just begun
|
And you're already bored.
|
|
Bored of cheering me up
|
Bored of calming me down
|
Bored of drying my eyes
|
But there once was a time when you were the one.
|
You were the blue of the sky
|
You came after the storm
|
You were the switch on the wall
|
In the dark of the hall
|
I'm still fumbling for
|
|
Cause I'm lost in the black
|
I don't know where I am.
|
Arms stretched out in front
|
I'm calling your name
|
Just as loud as I can
|
|
I know there's words that we will never speak
|
And the questions can't be answered easily
|
But I wanted to be easy so
|
Nod your head if the plans have changed
|
Shake it, love, they stayed the same
|
Smile at me and I will stay
|
Start to cry and I'll go away
|
Just please don't leave me guessing.
|
|
So you made me come
|
Then you sent me away
|
Like a messenger bird
|
So I circled the earth
|
Blown away in the wind
|
But I always returned
|
With some new little song
|
Some sad story to tell
|
Of a brief love affair
|
With a girl I compared to you and she failed
|
You said you don't want me to beg
|
Then you said get down on your knees
|
Cause you knew that I would
|
If I do any good satisfying your needs.
|
|
And I know all about those things we cannot speak
|
And just so you know well they don't bother me
|
So you don't have to be worried, just
|
Nod your head if the plans have changed
|
Shake it, love, if they stayed the same
|
Smile at me and I will stay
|
Start to cry and I'll go away
|
Just please don't keep me waiting
|
|
Just nod your head if your mind's been changed
|
Shake it, love, if some hope remains
|
Just say the word and of course I'll stay
|
Roll your eyes and I'll go away
|
Just please don't leave me guessing.
|
Just please don't keep me waiting
|
