Something In The Way You Are Lyrics

Something got me out of my
slumber in the broken light
Watching you across the room
Shadowed by the passing moon

(And) I can feel it in my bones
Something that nobody knows
How it really feels inside
To let go of all my pride

I sense it
I feel it
I sense it
I feel it

Something in the way you lie (ooh)
Something so hard to find (ooh)
Something in the way you slammed (that door)
Something always left me wanting (more)
Something in the way you smile (ooh)
Y'make a silly joke and it's fine (ooh)
Something in the way you are
Something in the way you are

I'm wonderin' about your childhood
Wonder if you were misunderstood
I'm watching you inside your head;
I wonder if you know how long I've cared

I can feel it in my bones
I love all of the sticks and stones [you throw]
And every little word you say
You're breakin' me in the best way

Something in the way you lie (ooh)
Something so hard to find (ooh)
Something in the way you slammed (that door)
Something always left me wanting (more)
Something in the way you smile (ooh)
Y'make a silly joke and it's fine (ooh)
Something in the way you are
Something in the way you are

Something when you look so tough (ooh)
Something I can't get enough [of] (ooh)
Something when you make that sound (ooh)
Something when you're breaking down (ooh)
Something when you raise your voice (ooh)
I know that I don't have a choice (ooh)
Something in the way you are
Something in the way you are

You're my (favorite) past time
Even when you're just passing by
Stay a little while; It's only you and I...

You're my (favorite) past time
Even when you're just passing by
Stay a little while; It's only you and I (yeah-yeah)

Something in the way you lie (ooh)
Something so hard to find (ooh)
Something in the way you slammed (that door)
Something always left me wanting (more)
Something in the way you smile (ooh)
Y'make a silly joke and it's fine (ooh)
Something in the way you are
Something in the way you are

Something when you look so tough (ooh)
Something I can't get enough [of]
Something when you make that sound (ooh)
Something when you're breaking down
Something when you raise your voice (ooh)
I know that I don't have a choice (ooh)
Something in the way you are
Something in the way you are

Just a note - the words in the [ ]'s are words in the official lyric book but not really heard in the song. ( )'s are words in the song but not in the official lyric book (EXCEPT "That Door" and "More" in the chorus)

Well, seems lyricfind has swooped in and murked up these lyrics as well. Do they listen by ear and just give it a go? I see a lot of the errors I thought when I did that. But besides the songbook, she has her (correct) lyrics posted on her website! :/
