lyrics

On the street outside of your house,
I’ve been dreaming of you
I’ve been meaning to ask you a favor
Could you walk so slowly up to me
Could you put your hands on your knees
Could you whisper in my ear something I’ve been waiting to hear
Could you look me deep right in the eyes and tell me that you think it’s gonna be alright
Could you tell me something new,
Oh could you tell me something true

You keep comin’ ‘round
Oh and you keep fallin down
And I keep catching you, catching you, catching you on the sidelines

I’ve been coming to you
I’ve been standing in the dark
throwing rocks up at your window
I’m waiting for your light to come on

You keep comin’ ‘round
Oh and you keep fallin down
And I keep catching you, catching you, catching you on the sidelines

Could you walk so slowly up to me
Could you put your hands on your knees
Could you whisper in my ear something I’ve been waiting to hear
Could you look me deep right in the eyes and tell me that you think it’s gonna be alright
Could you tell me something new,
Oh could you tell me something true
