Listening to your story,
waiting for the punch line,
when it finally gets here I forget to laugh.
So you forget I’m in the room,
hide behind the black light,
turn away and make funny shapes on the wall.
I’m gonna light a candle,
I won’t feel so all alone,
like a child my mind starts wandering off.
Then I count the times that I’ve been,
so careless with the way that I feel,
way I feel for you I feel tonight,
waiting around for you
Lying face down on the bed,
pillows getting soaking wet,
anyone who was watching would say I look strange.
‘Cause I’m 23 years old,
the water’s dripping from my eyes,
still I think I’m good enough.
Gonna light a candle,
I won’t feel so all alone,
like a child my mind starts wandering off.
Then I count the times that I’ve been,
careless with the way that I feel,
way I feel for you I feel tonight,
waiting around for you
Listening to story,
waiting for the punch line,
when it finally gets here I forget to laugh.
