Everybody wants a lover Nobody wants to uncover What may lay deep beneath A sometimes painful past Wanna go without a care Pull gardenias from her hair I think of a time we didn't have A care in the world Captivated by her beauty I knew it was my life long duty She had all the grace and charm Of a radiant queen
How do you talk without speaking? Yeah How do you hear without listening? How do you live without feeling? Yeah How do you take without giving? And we keep it all inside?
There are footprints on my ceiling I can't help this fucked up feeling Something's wrong, you ain't comin' Around here no more Try to get my thoughts together I think of a time when things were better This miscommunication Is breakin' me down
How do you talk without speaking? Yeah How do you hear without listening? How do you live without feeling? Yeah How do you take without giving? How you treat your new best friend?
Everybody wants a lover Nobody wants to uncover What may lay deep beneath A sometimes painful past My heart is heavy slowly sinking I redirect my desperate thinking And kiss her red full lips Like I did the very first time
How do you talk without speaking? Yeah How do you hear without listening? How do you live without feeling? Yeah How do you take without giving? There are footprints on my ceiling, yeah And I kept it bottled up inside, all my life
