Say When

I see you there, don’t know where you come from
Unaware of a stare from someone
Don’t appear to care that I saw you
And I want you
What’s your name? 'Cause I have to know it
You let me in and begin to show it
We’re terrified 'cause we’re heading straight for it
Might get it
You’ve been the song playing on the background
All along but you’re turning up now
And everyone is rising to meet you
To greet you
Turn around and you’re walking toward me
I’m breaking down and you’re breathing slowly
Say the word and I will be your man
Your man
Say when
And my own two hands will comfort you
Tonight, tonight
Say when
And my own two arms will carry you
Tonight, tonight
Coming close and then even closer
We bring it in, but we go no further
We’re separate
Two ghosts in one mirror
No nearer
Later on if it turns to chaos
Hurricane coming all around us
See the crack pull it back from the window
You stay low
Say when
And my own two hands will comfort you
Tonight, tonight
Say when
And my own two arms will carry you
Tonight, tonight
Come across, you lost and broken
You’re coming to, but you’re slow in waking
You start to shake
You still haven’t spoken what happened
They’re coming back and you just don’t know when
You want to cry but there’s nothing comin'
They’re gonna push until you give in
Say when
Now we’re here and it turns to chaos
Hurricane coming all around us
Double crack throws you back from the window
You stay low
It all began with the man and country
Every plan sends another century
Around again
Another nation fallen
Maybe God can be on both sides of a gun
Never understood why
Some of us never get it so good
So good
Some of this was here before us
All of this will go after us
It never stops until we give in
Give in
Say when
And my own two hands will comfort you
Tonight, tonight
Say when
And my own two arms will carry you
Tonight, tonight
Say when
And my own two hands will comfort you
Tonight, tonight
