[Verse 1]First of all, I am sorryDisappointment enthusiastI think I am permanently sickI just threw up at the thought ofBeing honestWill the old me ever come back?My odds unbearably slimWill you stay for a while and relax?As I gather my consciousnessYou're warm, I'm cold, there's no argumentI shrunk, you grew, I just can't pretendTo be something greater than meTo be someone you want me to beTo be someone you want me to beTo be someone...[Verse 2]You're the copper, I'm the litterAt the bottom of the wishing wellIt looks as if we both have drownedWarm hand splash comes down on the reachYou'll never mean much to anyoneBut you mean the world to me[Verse 3]Out the front door, I watch your body leaveCould you please keep the light on for me?Could you please keep the light on for me?Neighbors shout loudly, "Hey kid, we're so sorry"Could you please keep the light on for me?Could you please?Could you please just touch my hand one more time?(One! Time!)So I could feel alive again(One! Time!)I blend in the pastelYou shine so brightI am lost without the lights[Outro]It was a steep slope, such a rapid changeI thought I had it right, the thought that washed awayIt was a steep slope, such a rapid changeI dreamt of months of snow; you prayed for days of rainIt was a steep slope, such a swift, swift waveI thought I had it right, the thought that washed away
