Hello my conscious, it's been way too long How are you? A room full of faces, shouldn't feel so alone But I feel so alone Do you even know how long I waited here? Do you even know how long I waited here for you? Believe anythin', you say I believe anythin' Make it harder to leave everythin' Especially when I'm always seein' everythin' I was on the bus stop when I seen your smile Missin' every stop, thinkin' 'bout it now I was on the clock, and I heard you laugh Somewhere in the room, I'd rather hear your laugh In the Pizzeria hearin' your song Miss the way you smell, mixed with my cologne I wonder why my house ain't feelin' like a home? Even still with that, I hope you're not alone I hope you're not alone How does it hurt, if I'm always sedated? How does it hurt? How does it hurt if I'm always sedated? Always sedated, for you Could you imagine how I feel when I'm so-o-o-ber? Feelin' like sober, too sober, I'm too so-o-o-ber Okay, I'll admit it, that was me who called and wait 'til you would end it I just wanna talk, if you got a minute? Or at least a second if you gotta limit I'm everythin' I do, I'm everythin' I didn't You can catch me walkin' 'round, I'm still in Venice With my shoes off, just to paint the image Chasin' all the footsteps I see you in it If a tidal wave come around, I'm finished 'Cause I'd rather drown, than to try to swim it Is it too late for me now? Would you tell me if it's too late, if it's too late for me now? (Swim good, I swim good) How does it hurt, if I'm always sedated? (Swim good) How does it hurt? (Swim good, I swim good) How does it hurt if I'm always sedated? (Swim good) Always sedated for you Could you imagine how I feel when I'm so-o-o-ber? Feeling like sober, I'm too sober, I'm too so-o-o-ber And all I know, if it's killin' me, it's killin' you back And when I follow you, if you're hurtin' me, I just hurt you back And it's holdin' me back, back, back It's holdin' me back And that's not to say it's holdin' me down I could live with that, chasing pennies, but we chasin' different paths Hope that one day it might even overlap But that's still not to say it's holdin' me down And so much for that, I think that we both remember different paths All the arguments, it started off first In the end, I always finish off last It's holdin' you back, back, back (Could you imagine how I feel when I'm so-o-o-ber?) (Feelin' like sober, too sober, too so-o-o-ber) What's holdin' you back, back, back? (How does it hurt?) Holdin' you back, back, back (How does it hurt?) Holdin' you back, back, back (How does it hurt?) What's holdin' you— (How does it hurt?)
