All that I want is to know undoubtedly
That you just have eyes for me
Could you make it clear?
All that I want is to sit here silently
And watch movies on TV
What a shame, you're not here
Here to witness my devotion
And my endless well of needs
I'm an anchor in the ocean
You know I could never leave

So, I'm patient, you're learning, pretend it's not hurting, oh, woah (oh)
They say it's a virtue to not let good love slip away (–way)
So, I'm cool and forgiving, I'll take what you're giving, oh, woah (oh, ah)
But nothing's quite enough when I know that to get it, I begged
Yeah, to get it, I begged

And I have this thought when I lay in bed at night
That I feel trapped inside my life
Is that a normal thing to fight back the waves
Of a static lover's dread?
I'm overwhelmed, I'm underfed
And yet I still cling
(Cling to hope like) cling to hope like snow on mountains
(Careless) careless words melt it away (melt away)
(In a fountain) I'm a penny in a fountain
Just waiting on my luck to change

So, I'm patient, you're learning, pretend it's not hurting, oh, woah (oh)
'Cause they say it's a virtue to not let good love slip away (–way)
So, I'm cool and forgiving, I'll take what you're giving, oh, woah (ooh, ah)
But nothing's quite enough when I know that to get it, I begged
Yeah, to get it, I begged
