about

A song about having conflicting emotions about the same person.

lyrics

I wish I could tell you that I love you
But it always sounds contrived
I would lay it all upon you
And give me peace of mind

I wish I could tell you that I hate you
Without it being construed
I would lay right into you
And hope I won't sound rude

Sitting on the curb at 3 A.M. our feet lightly touching
I hear your heart on my chest and mine in my head
You ask me if I'm freezing, I don't shiver for the cold

I shine a light upon you now, shine a light I do
I shine a light upon you now, shine a light I do

I wish I could tell you that I need you
But you'll end up being concerned
I would take too much time
and not use what I've learned

I wish I could tell you that I fear you
And have all my doubts confirmed
I would work myself up to it
And have my thoughts returned

Standing on the curb at 3 A.M. glaring at my shoes
I've never felt this cold or small in front of you
You ask me if we're ok but I'm way past that

I squint every time I see you now, squint more and more
I squint every time I see you now, squint more and more

I wish I could tell you that I want you
Even if it's just for one night
