Wake

I wanna know what it's like to care
I wanna know
That my heart is in the right place at all the right times
I wanna turn you inside out and in again
I wanna know just what you plan to do with me
Cuz' I'm sitting here feeling sorry

When I saw you
I was at my wake
It took a little time, oh time
To get to know each other right

When I said "hi" you looked kind of worried
But we took a little time, oh time
To make sure that our words seemed right

I heard the whispers through my walls
They just kept banging
And I wanted them to leave me the fuck alone
These silly voices say it all, they know me so well
There's a numbness, that comes with the silence
The numbness without violence

When I said "hi" you looked kind of worried
But we took a little time, oh time
To get to know each other right

I see the trembling in your hands
It reminds me, of my insides and tuesday afternoons
I think you're scared of hurting my feelings
And now I'm scared, to casually continue
Because nothing's ever perfect
I'll know that when I'm older
It seems you're growing colder
And I'm just so confused
And maybe it's my youth

And when you held me
I was halfway dead
I spent a little too much time
To circle in my mind, oh my
I hope that you don't think I'm strange
When I say things that seem out of place

I thought that I would do alright
That my brain was fixed
And my lamp stopped glowing in the key of D
But here I am in this petty fight
With a part of me
That never wants to eat
That's halfway dead at heaven's feet
That makes me feel like I'm not clean
And makes me wanna be happy

And when I saw you
I was on my knees
And you took a little time, oh time
To make sure that I was alright
To make sure I'm alright
