So I'm waiting by a phone for the blessed ring
Like a Holy Grail for the Fisher King
Time is ticking down like a metronome
Rhythm for my brain and its ceaseless scares
I never seem to play them to the beat I hear
Though my heartbeat is a beat that beats so near
So we had a talk last night
About the heavy blow that you dealt in fight
Your back against the wall
It was a puzzle piece
Important to the whole that I may not find
You placed within the hole
I never seem to put them in the gaps I see
Like a puzzle where the pieces lost you and me
So I'm changing who I am
'Cause what I am's not good
And I know you love me now
But I don't see why you should
And I don't see why you should
No, I don't see why you should
So I drift into the end like a moth to light
Down the boulevard to a coffee shop
In the land of song
In the land of wait
My beat is bearing down on this lonely town
I never seem to write them down as good as you
Like I somewhere lost the keys that let me in
So I'm changing who I am
'Cause what I am's not good
And I know you love me now
But I don't see why you should
So I'm changing who I am
'Cause what I am's not good
And I know you love me now
But I don't see why you should
And I don't see why you should
No, I don't see why you should
