All of this si lence and pa tience, pin ing and des p’rate ly wait ing; my hand are shak ing from all this ah, ah, ah, ahh.

Say my (C)name and (Csus)ev (C)’ry thing just (C)stops.

In es cap a ble; I’m not e ven gon na try.

And if I get burned, at least we were e lec tri fied.

I’m spill ing wine in the bath tub.

You kiss my face, and we’re both drunk.

Ev ’ry one thinks that they know us, but they know noth ing a bout...

E ven in my worst times, you could see the best of me.

(CN.C.)off.

back to my mis takes, my re bounds, and my earth quakes.

E ven in my worst lies, you could see the best of me.

You saw the truth in me.

And I (Fsus2)woke up just in time; now I (Fsus2)wake up by your side.

My (CN.C.)one and on ly, my life line.
