Didn't know I needed this
The distance of an ocean between us
To eat cereal alone in my pyjamas
Peel an orange and revel in its sweetness
To allow myself to be a question
And not the answer and solution to everything
A person wired for obligation
Sometimes looks at the fuse box with longing
So let go of my hand so I can
Grab a spray can
And mark where you end and I begin
I want to want you again, I want to remember that feeling
Gotta know how to hold you
Gotta know how to let you go
Gotta know how to hold you
Gotta know how to let you go
Didn't know I felt like this
But now I do, I know I can't go back again
What I need is neither an engagement ring
Nor a love song as a proof of your commitment
What I need is for you to have patience
While I pick out a bench at Grand Central Station
Where I can watch the trains departing and arriving
And see my name written in their destinations
So let go of my hand so I can
Grab a spray can
And mark where you end and I begin
I want to know who I am beyond somebody's girlfriend
Gotta know how to hold you
Gotta know how to let you go
Gotta know how to hold you
Gotta know how to let you go
Gotta know how to hold you
Gotta know how to let you go
Gotta know how to hold you
Gotta know how to let you go
Gotta know how to hold you
