Countdown until the time we're together
But then what does that mean?
Just another place to hang around
Those eyes that fill me up with a longing
Taking over my life
Look at me like I can't do a thing
Do you want to tell me
How much it is you need me
Or are you saying you would rather be alone?
Do you want to tell me
How, when you're around me
You're scared of taking down a heart besides your own?

Uptight from time to time
Is it something or the state of your mind
Or is it simply the way it is?
Upset, small wonder why
With the kinds of words you want to know
Why make it that much harder just to live?
Do you want to tell me
How much it is you need me
Or are you saying you would rather be alone?
Do you want to tell me
How, when you're around me
You're scared of taking down a heart besides your own?

Countdown until the time we're together
But then what does that mean?
Just another place to lose my pride
Those eyes that lead the way to a price
Despite being harder to pay
Guarantees that I'll be satisfied
Do you want to tell me
How much it is you need me
Or are you saying you would rather be alone?
Do you want to tell me
How, when you're around me
You're scared of taking down a heart besides your own?
