Curled up on the sofa with your tail between your legs

I won't pretend that I know you, but I wish just one time

I could get inside your head

All the treasures that you're hiding

All your secrets never safe

Are adding up to lines of frustration

I read it on your face



You know I love you even when you run away from me

But I don't want to chase you any more

So if you have to go away then I won't make you stay

Just lie awake and listen for the door



With a lack of direction

With eyes sad and red

In need of affection

You wind up on my bed

And all the treasures that you're hiding

You know they're never safe with me

Won't let you be my god

Won't let you be my slave

What else is there left to be



You know I love you even when you run away from me

But I don't want to chase you any more

So if you have to go away then I won't make you stay

Just lie awake and listen for the door
