Lyrics

If I could write you a song With all the right words Then would these black clouds begin to burn up The moment you heard? If I could make you a map Would you find your way home? You know you can't keep me alive And leave me alone Tell me I'm yours, tell me you're mine Tell me I'm anything but fine Tell me a story, tell me the time Tell me a lie If I could make you a tape With all the right noise Would you smile when you listen and sigh "Boys will be boys"? If I could paint you a picture I'd turn black into white But now I'm not lookin' for love Just lookin' for tonight So tell me I'm yours, tell me you're mine Tell me I'm anything but fine Tell me a story, tell me the time Tell me a lie And tell me I'm yours, tell me you're mine Tell me I'm anything but fine Tell me a story, tell me the time Tell me a lie Tell me what I want to hear Tomorrow I will disappear You won't ever have to see me again And tell me I'm yours, tell me you're mine Tell me I'm anything but fine Tell me a story, tell me the time Tell me a lie You said that words could only get you so far But I've got sentences that cover up all my scars In the end I might forget where they are Talk to me tonight And if we started all over today I think we know that we'd end up in the same place Maybe you're right and we've got nothing to say I want to hear it anyway I want to hear it anyway
