Several Shades of Why

Listen to me
I can't wait to see you
I can't wait to be you
I can't wait

The pain's on me
I can't wait to be you
I can't wait to see you
I can't wait

Waiting's what we do
Not enough to give 'nough to you
Wish there was a place we remained since
A place where we could rest and we would know

The pain's on me
I can't wait to be you
I can't wait to feel you
I can't wait

Listen to me
I can't wait to see you
I can't wait to be you
I can't wait

It shouldn't take so long
Something that's so real to come along
I feel the pull
But I can't pay the price
That don't make it right
I'm here alone

What's left of me
I can't wait
I'm done here
And won't stay
Longer
And I can't wait

Listen to me
Is it right to be here
I can't fight
Can't win on my ground

Pain is what we do
Got enough to make some more for you
I can take so much before I bleed
Knowing what's the stake its all I do

Listen
Listen to me

I got more I got no need
I got nothing I could leave
I got things that you should see

I went riding all around
Hit the pass, I built this sound
Tried to picture it going down

Come on wait for me, is it done?
Come on wait for me, is it done?
Come on wait for me, is it done?
Come on wait for me, is it done?

Felt a pull I pulled away
We got nothing that I'll say
Still I feel it's not this way

Waiting nothing's going down
Can't seem to get it off the ground
Seeing if I'll come around

Come on wait for me, is it done?
Come on wait for me, is it done?
Come on wait for me, is it done?
Come on wait for me, is it done?

Or is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh
Is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh
Is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh
Is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh

I know my soul is battered
And I know my mind is gone
I been waiting for an answer
But the question takes too long
I need guidance on the river
I need everything I've done
So familiar's coming at me
Don't wanna blow it all at once

Come on wait for me, is it done?
Come on wait for me, is it done?
Come on wait for me, is it done?
Come on wait for me, is it done?

Or is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh
Is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh
Is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh
Is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh
Is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh
Is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh
Is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh
Is it you ooh ooh ooh ooh

Can I go to the place where you are
Wishing that we might have saw this star
At least I know there's a place I can find you
I've gone over it so many times
Mass confusion in my heart and my mind
Can't really tell you 'cause I got no mouth to

'Cause I'm running to where you are
I can't tell no one
And I can't run that far
'Cause I'm running and it's a shame
If I could I would
But I can't take the blame

Can I run through the time like we said
Picking bits after years in my head
Got the logic in place but it's twisted

I've had the time to make it all fit
But the question is how do you quit
Something I'm having a hard time resisting

'Cause I'm running
And it's a shame
'Cause I felt it long before I knew your name
And I'm feeling insecure
Gotta find a way to get there I'm not sure

Drop in some hints
Then I look to my friends
Who's gonna take you
When you just pretend
Everything stirred in my brain, in and out

I got more than enough, how 'bout you?
What are you seriously looking to do?
Is there a way for this to turn out alright?

'Cause I'm running
I think I'm lost
Weighing out the feelings
Looking at the cost
And I'm feeling
And you are too
So how will we know what we're suppose to do?

Tell me why you broke
Tell me 'cause I'm nervous and love
I've been thinking less
I've been thinking out loud, to prayers
Tell me where we are
Tell me 'cause we never get far

And I've tried my only hand
And I've tried to keep it simple
You just couldn't understand

I've been holding back
I've been holding pieces entrapped
I don't know what's wrong
I don't know my reasons
So long
Hope has left me here
Hope has left me wonderin'
And I feel

And I'm s'pposed to be so free
And the darkness pulls me over
Why did it have to be me?

I can't speak my mind
I can't even speak
I'm fine
Tell me why'd you go
Tell me 'cause I'm nervous
Take it slow

I don't see you wait
I don't see you coming
It's a dream

And it's falling off of it
Thought I'd never have to face it
Something hard is here instead

There's no peace, little comfort, no one's shoulder
Not a wrinklings of a time that made you colder
I'm not saying much I tried hard that's all I do
Tried and waited then got tired, that's about it
With my time
With my time

Got to wait this time
Why should I have time to answer?
Several shades of why
I can't go back, it's faster
Don't expect it 'cause the ending's a disaster
Nothing, nothing, nothing man, a little laughter
With my time
With my time

Gone at it the wrong way
Thought I'd find out but I missed it
If I make it through I'll run and stop the twistin'
Way I steered us off'll lose it just to give in
Hell may not dwell on the dead
How about the living?
With my time
With my time
