I stand there waiting at your window
Scream your name until I've found
The only one I ever wanted
I'm afraid that I let you down
'Cause from the first time that I saw you
I knew that my heart was bound
Bound to end up being empty
Every time that you're not around

You know I'm gonna try my hardest, darling
But I make mistakes
That's a promise I won't break

So if I play your heartstrings
Will you give over your bow?
Give me the right key
If I'm not hitting the right notes

I stand there waiting at your window
Scream your name until I've found
The only one I ever wanted
I'm afraid that I let you down
'Cause from the first time that I saw you
I knew that my heart was bound
Bound to end up being empty
Every time that you're not around

You know I'm gonna try my hardest, baby
But I make mistakes
That's a promise I won't break

So if I play your heartstrings
Will you give over your bow?
Give me the right key
If I'm not hitting the right notes
And if I play your heartstrings
Where we will end up, who knows?
Give me the right key
And I'll just give you the right notes
