lyrics
I wanna take you home
But I don’t want your friends to think I’m slutty
I’ve been trying to crack the code
That lets you know that maybe I’m somebody
When I’m really just a man
Who can barely play it cool for 30 minutes
Have I told you about my band?
Nevermind that I’m the only person in it
And I’ve got nothing left to lose
But I could use
A few new lines worth singing
And I’ve been looking for a sign
But every moment passes by
And I’m still waiting
Stuttering stalling hesitating
Breaking me down like I can’t take it
All this waiting
So now we’re at my place
A little cleaner than I usually keep it
Appreciate my taste
The finer things are mostly from IKEA
I need a map to find my hands around your waist
I think it’s in this bottle
I need a map to find my lips into your kiss
But I’m still waiting
Stuttering stalling hesitating
Breaking me down like I can’t take it
All this waiting
Before the buzz wears off
Before the sun finds us
Without much to say
Before you realize
I’m not who you thought I was
And we fade away
Now the lights are turned down low
The stereo
Is playing soft
And slow
And it goes...
But I’m still waiting
Stuttering
Hesitating
Breaking me down like I can’t take it
All this waiting
And waiting
Making me just a little patient
Left my own imagination
Our hearts are racing
The walls are shaking
But I’m still waiting
Always waiting for you
But I don’t want your friends to think I’m slutty
I’ve been trying to crack the code
That lets you know that maybe I’m somebody
When I’m really just a man
Who can barely play it cool for 30 minutes
Have I told you about my band?
Nevermind that I’m the only person in it
And I’ve got nothing left to lose
But I could use
A few new lines worth singing
And I’ve been looking for a sign
But every moment passes by
And I’m still waiting
Stuttering stalling hesitating
Breaking me down like I can’t take it
All this waiting
So now we’re at my place
A little cleaner than I usually keep it
Appreciate my taste
The finer things are mostly from IKEA
I need a map to find my hands around your waist
I think it’s in this bottle
I need a map to find my lips into your kiss
But I’m still waiting
Stuttering stalling hesitating
Breaking me down like I can’t take it
All this waiting
Before the buzz wears off
Before the sun finds us
Without much to say
Before you realize
I’m not who you thought I was
And we fade away
Now the lights are turned down low
The stereo
Is playing soft
And slow
And it goes...
But I’m still waiting
Stuttering
Hesitating
Breaking me down like I can’t take it
All this waiting
And waiting
Making me just a little patient
Left my own imagination
Our hearts are racing
The walls are shaking
But I’m still waiting
Always waiting for you
