lyrics

I’ve been sitting here waiting for the right moment to come along
And I’ve been wanting to call you, but the words would come out wrong
I’ve been thinking for some time that a cry for help would do me some good
But I just sit on my hands and keep my mouth glued tightly shut

Can you read my mind?

The only situation that involves no compromise is that someone somewhere close to me can read my mind to push past my inability to open up and share
If my girlfriend still can’t tell whether I’m joking or I’m scared, I doubt the silent treatment will help me to repair my chronic lack of self-belief that’s leading me nowhere and leaves me unprepared

I don’t think I’ll be ready when the moment comes; I’m all choked up
Or maybe there is no moment. Maybe it’s passed. I should’ve spoken up

I can’t help but think I’m balanced on the brink of swimming down to sink

I’ve been sitting here waiting and the right moment has come and gone
I talked a lot and said nothing, didn’t mention what was wrong
Who knows? Maybe next time I’ll talk so much I’ll let it slip out
Or more likely I’ll be silently hoping you can read my mind
Doubting you can read my mind
Hoping you can read my mind
