lyrics

I’m not one for this and that
So there’s no reason to question why
I always seem to lack
The will or determination
For any conversation dealing with you
And me
And where everyone seems to think where we should be
But I’m still stuck
Haven’t had enough
Even if all of this is fruitless
I still wanna pursue this

It’s right about now
I should be waking up from you
It’s all I can endure
Should be giving up
But if memories fade then
I’m not waiting anymore
Oh I can try
But I can’t hide that I’ve
Realized what lies inside
But I promise I’m waking up after this

Back and forth, here and there
We never seem to get anywhere
Like the questions we always pass off to each other
It’s like a circle of yes and no and maybe
Call me cautious or call me crazy
I’m stuck at a crossroads
Of how far the distance should go
This feels one sided am I right
In saying that I shouldn’t try
To get any closer than this?
Pull me close push me away
Give me moment just to say
That if you could give me a try
I guarantee, I don’t lie
That I’ll back off if it’s not to your liking

It’s right about now
I should be waking up from you
It’s all I can endure
Should be giving up
But if memories fade then
I’m not waiting anymore
Oh I can try
But I can’t hide that I’ve
Realized what lies inside
Just give me one chance
One last dance
Doesn’t have to end up with romance
No perfect night, no rose, no kiss
'Cause I’m waking up right after this
If the dreams too sweet,
I’ll never want to leave

It’s right about now
I should be waking up
From you but it’s too soon I’m sure
Should be giving up
And if memories fade then
I’m not waiting anymore
I can try
But I can’t hide that I’ve
Realized what lies inside
But I promise I’m waking up
Shake me harder so I wake up
I promise I’m waking up, after this.

A dream that you wish your heart didn’t make
