Punchline: Power Off

i'm waiting for you say to say
'i know you better than you think'.
but did i plan for this to happen?
i claimed i could hold you closer than,
know you better than anyone.

will you wait for me?
will you wait for me?
will you wait for me?
will you wait for me?

if you tore me away from all of this
it would not make a difference to me.
i'm not saying that i wouldn't miss
everyone and everything.
its not happening.

so don't give me that look.
i can see it in your eyes and
i know what you're going to say.
i'm waiting for you to say
'i know you better than you think'.
but did i plan for this to happen?
i claimed i could hold you closer than,
know you better than anyone.

i'll close my eyes and make this wish.
nothing that a falling star could do.
cross my fingers. walk by winter.
hope by summer it comes true.
its not happening.
so don't give me that look.
i can see it in your eyes
and i know what you're going to say.

i'm waiting for you to say
'i know you better than you think'.
but did i plan for this to happen?
i claimed i could hold you closer than,
know you better than anyone.

don't blame me: blame yourself,
if you don't want me around.
no, i don't want you.
no, i don't need you.
if these are the last words you say,
please forgive me for going away.
i guess i was wrong to think that
something good could last.
board it up, put it up on the shelf
with everything else in my past.
it won't last.
it won't last.
it won't last.
it won't last....

just say what you want me to do.
i'll come back and be right there in front of you.
just say if you want me or not.
if you don't you can just shut the power off
