LYRICS

You lean your back against the wall Push your hands in your pocket You look down Pacing the floor You look out the window Beyond the view Shake your body As if against the cold Your mind wanders Tell me what you're trying to say Tell me what you're trying to say I won't stop Loving you We sit down together You start to draw a ring Square the circle Then draw some lines Push the paper But keep the pen you hold You need your hands occupied Tell me what you're trying to say Tell me what you're trying to say I won't stop I won't stop Loving you Let your fingers intertwine Put your hands behind your head Lean back And close your eyes And tell me Tell me what you've got on your mind Tell me Tell me
