Talk Me Down

[Verse 1]
If I could only wait until she died
She tried to hold me and say a prayer
I said I want her to know me
I see the fear that's in her eyes
But if I'm unholy, why am I alive?

[Pre-Chorus]
Two hours in the hallway
I held it in like always
I tried to take the high way
But then I lied and said goodnight

[Chorus]
I wish that I knew you
'Cause I really want to
Hear all of the ways you would talk me down
I hate being lonely
Hate wishing you'd hold me
Hate knowing we can't speak
'Til then I'll talk me down

[Verse 2]
See a light through the doorway
Late nights I've memorizеd
All the steps with the noisе
I can hear my heart pound

[Pre-Chorus]
Two hours in the hallway
I held it in like always
I tried to take the high way
But then I lied and said goodnight

[Chorus]
I wish that I knew you
'Cause I really want to
Hear all of the ways you would talk me down
I hate being lonely
Hate wishing you'd hold me
Hate knowing we can't speak
'Til then I'll talk me down
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
('Til then I'll talk me down)

[Bridge]
I know it's been a long time coming
I know it's been a long time running
I guess I wish I could ask you something
How do I make you out of nothing?

[Chorus]
I wish that I knew you
'Cause I really want to
Hear all of the ways you would talk me down
I hate being lonely
Hate wishing you'd hold me
Hate knowing we can't speak
I wish that I knew you
'Cause I really want to
Hear all of the ways you would talk me down
I hate being lonely
Hate wishing you'd hold me
Hate knowing we can't speak
'Til then I'll talk me down
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
'Til then I'll talk me down
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
'Til then I'll talk me down
