[Verse 1]
You know what I mean
It's like walking in the heat all day with no water
It's like waiting for a friend
Watching everybody else meet theirs on that corner
Or losing in an argument
Though you're right, can't get your thoughts in order
[Pre-Chorus]
Still I refrain from talking at you, talking on
You know me well, I don't explain
[Chorus]
But what the hell?
Why do you think I come round here on my free will?
Wasting all my precious time
Oh, the truth spills out
And oh, oh I, I've told you now
[Verse 2]
You know what I mean
Although I try my best I still let down the team
You're everything I want
Why should I resist when you are there for me?
[Pre-Chorus]
Still I refrain from talking at you, talking on
You know me well, I don't explain
[Chorus]
But what the hell?
Why do you think I come round here on my free will?
Wasting all my precious time
Oh, the truth spills out
And oh, oh I, I've told you now
[Bridge]
I've told you now
I've told you now
I've told you now
I've told you now
[Pre-Chorus]
Still I refrain from talking at you, talking on
You know me well, I don't explain
[Chorus]
But what the hell?
Why do you think I come round here on my free will?
Wasting all my precious time
Oh, the truth spills out
And oh, oh I, I've told you now
But what the hell?
Why do you think I come round here on my free will?
Wasting all my precious time
Oh, the truth spills out
And oh, oh I, I've told you now
