Everybody wants a lover
Nobody wants to uncover
What may lay deep beneath
A sometimes painful past Wanna go without a care
Pull gardenias from her hair
I think of a time we didn't have
A care in the world Captivated by her beauty
I knew it was my life long duty
She had all the grace and charm
Of a radiant queen How do you talk without speaking? Yeah
How do you hear without listening?
How do you live without feeling? Yeah
How do you take without giving?
And we keep it all inside? There are footprints on my ceiling
I can't help this *** up feeling
Something's wrong, you ain't comin'
Around here no more Try to get my thoughts together
I think of a time when things were better
This miscommunication
Is breakin' me down How do you talk without speaking? Yeah
How do you hear without listening?
How do you live without feeling? Yeah
How do you take without giving?
How you treat your new best friend? Everybody wants a lover
Nobody wants to uncover
What may lay deep beneath
A sometimes painful past My heart is heavy slowly sinking
I redirect my desperate thinking
And kiss her red full lips
Like I did the very first time How do you talk without speaking? Yeah
How do you hear without listening?
How do you live without feeling? Yeah
How do you take without giving?
There are footprints on my ceiling, yeah
And I kept it bottled up inside, all my life
