Everybody wants a lover   Nobody wants to uncover   What may lay deep beneath   A sometimes painful past      Wanna go without a care   Pull gardenians 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 lifelong duty   She had all the grace and charm   Of a radiant queen      How do you talk without speaking?   How do you hear without listening?   How do you live without feeling?   How do you take without giving?   How do you keep it all inside?      There are footprints on my ceiling   I can't help this fucked up feeling   Something's wrong    You ain't coming 'round here no more      Try to get my thoughts together   I think of a time when things were better   This miscommunication    Is bringing me down      How do you talk without speaking?   How do you hear without listening?   How do you live without feeling?   How do you take without giving?   How do you treat your 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?   How do you hear without listening?   How do you live without feeling?   How do you take without giving?      There are footprints on my ceiling   And I kept it bottled up inside   All my life
