I had everything but that one thing

That would make him come to life

So I went searching in the corner of his eyes

I can make a man or a monster

If the chemistry's not right


So I go creeping around these corners

Thinking it's right around that bend

But all these bends make a circle

And nature won't let those end

Maybe if I tried a little harder

You might want me again


Of all the stories I tell myself

Please let this one be true

Of all the stories I tell myself

Please let this one be true


It's got to be hiding in here somewhere

Maybe in the curve of your spine

God knows I've traveled that distance a thousand times

Maybe if I run into your heart she might tell me why


Of all the stories I tell myself

Please let this one be true

Of all the stories I tell myself

Please let this one be true


I swear I saw it

There was something in your eyes

So I've been waiting on you

Waiting on you

Your heart is on the table

My hands are in the sky

And I've been waiting on a storm


Cuz I had everything but that one thing that

Would make him come to life

So I went searching in the corner of his eyes

I can make a man or a monster if the chemistry's not right

It's not right


Of all the stories I tell myself

Please let this one be true
