A sleepless night in the city
No peace and quiet's in the city
It's hotter than the water from a boiler in the basement of hell
In this low rent walk of broken down hotel
Countin' the cracks on the ceiling
Flat on my back and I'm feeling
Lower than the roaches in the tunnels of the one and the nine
And the clock says that I'm half past losing my mind
Through the tick-tock-tick
I can hear the faucet drip
When the neighbors brawl
I can hear them through the wall
But I'm waiting
I keep waiting
Cause I want you
I want you back again
I can't remember when
You and I were one
And I want to
I want to change your mind
So I'm gonna bide my time
Bearin' my misery
Till you come to me
High noon, same room, this is when it
Gets so suffocating. The air sits
Heavy like the weight of my regret forever letting you go
And it don't matter whether the windows are open or closed
There's a beep-beep-beep
From the traffic in the street
And a bang-bang-bang
Like a hammer in my brain
As I'm fading
Going crazy
Cause I want you
I want you back again
I can't remember when
You and I were one
And I want to
I want to change your mind
So I'm gonna bide my time
Bearin' my misery
Till you come to me
Cause I want you
I want you back again
I can't remember when
You and I were one
And I want to
I want to change your mind
So I'm gonna bide my time
Bearin' my misery
Till you come to me
Hey
Just you wait and see
You'll come back to me
Just you wait and see
You'll come back to me
Oh no no
Just you wait and see
You'll come back to me
Baby, just you wait and see
You'll come back to me
