leave your window open before you sleep
so i can come inside and whisper pretty things
you wouldn't hear when you were awake
i'll only give you what you can take
all my nights spent for you
all my life spin for you
rowing down your ear canal like it's the river styx
singing siren songs for you
and hoping something sticks
i won't give you anything you can't take baby
i'm here for you and you alone baby
all my nights spent for you
all my life spin for you
like the spirit hovers over you
i will hover over you
like the spirit hovers over you
i will hover over you

you live across town on a hill looking out
you've got perspective a queen would deserve
i've lost the patience to climb to your doorstep
love shouldn't take too much work to earn
i'll never be what you want me to be
i'll never be what you want me to be
i'll never know how to be what you need
i'll never know how to be what you need
if you can't tell me
i took my shoes off to walk on the gravel
act like it's penance i'm paying to you
but i've grown the callous to keep me from caring for
any love that i think i could spare for you
i'll never be what you want me to be
i'll never be what you want me to be
i'll never know how to be what you need
i'll never know how to be what you need
if you can't tell me
