As rain pours down outside my blackened house
I send to you a message, 3 words I must get out
But they're coded in the small talk that I shed over desire
'Cause even the hardest rainfall will not put out the fire
This may be just another song from the lovesick fuck I am
But if you want me to be happy, then take hold of my hand
And whisper in my ear, so that I can hear you say
"I'll be here for you tomorrow, despite every cliché"
The fly paces 'round the white light
And the storm around the town
As I'm pacing back and forth
Because I know I need you now
I will never understand why
I do not have you yet
This is when I need you most
I won't just take what I can get
The crackling of thunder sends shivers down my spine
My heart begins to beat because it makes you cross my mind
I wonder If I ever really even had a chance
And if I still have it now, would it make a difference?
You keep me wide awake when I'm in the mood to sleep
I'm trying to stay strong but you just make me fucking weak
I will not say I wish that I had never met you
But I will say that I wish I could be the one that you consume
The fly paces 'round the white light
And the storm around the town
As I'm pacing back and forth
Because I know I need you now
I will never understand why
I do not have you yet
This is when I need you most
I won't just take what I can get
I've said all that I can say
Now just come take me away
Let us be together
So I know you feel the same
