Tell Me

I was home alone like most nights
Your silhouette was gone
Underneath my ceiling lights
Five minutes left to burn
I made myself some hot tea
My initial on the mug
A cliché of all my evenings
The scent still in your shirt

See I
Understand where it all went wrong
I was just a girl who wrote you love songs
Loitered in your love, you didn’t feel enough
But all that pain was gone

My darling here we are
Driving round in lonely cars
Caught in wars of second glances
And no more second chances
There’s a fine line between tides and shore
Oh I could never be what you’re asking for
All I really wanted was love
But tell me was it
Too much to want?
Too much to want?
To want?

Saw you again today
Same oceans in your eyes
There was tension on your chapped lips
Our last words as our goodbyes
My sweetness now tastes sour
And I wear you as a stain
Lost grip in these short hours
And all my love in vain

See I
Understand where it all went wrong
I was just a girl who wrote you love songs
Loitered in your love, you didn’t feel enough
But all that pain was gone

My darling here we are
Driving round in lonely cars
Caught in wars of second glances
And no more second chances
There’s a fine line between tides and shores
Oh I could never be what you’re asking for
All I really wanted was love
But tell me was it
Too much to want?
Too much to want?
To want?

I miss you like the stolen skies
In drowsy winters, grayish nights
I still fall for you every time you stare
What a mess we made of the masterpiece
In lonely houses, busy streets
I just miss your lips upon my cheek

Ooh
Ooh

My darling here we are
Driving round in lonely cars
Caught in wars of second glances
And no more second chances
There’s a fine line between tides and shores
Oh I could never be what you’re asking for
All I really wanted was love
But tell me was it
Too much to want?
Too much to want?
To want?
