Baby, I, I swear it gets worse at night
It's not a fair fight, in the fading light, the lonely bed
Baby, I, I don't even need to cry
If I hold onto the picture playing inside my head
It would be sweet if I could hold you in the morning before you leave
It wouldn't be bad if I could make you understand, yeah
It would be sweet, come on and hold me in the morning, I don't wanna leave ('fore you leave me, baby)
It wouldn't be bad if I could make you understand
Oh, it's been a long distance to get to my heart, and now
Babe, I want you but I don't know how to ask for it
Other than this one you love, I wonder who you're thinking of
Babe, it's natural (it's only natural), but it hurts just the same
It would be sweet if I could hold you in the morning, before you leave (I don't wanna leave you, baby)
It wouldn't be bad if I could make you understand (long distance)
It would be sweet, come on and hold me in the morning, I don't wanna leave ('fore you leave me, baby)
It wouldn't be bad if I could make you understand (long distance)
It would be sweet if I could hold you in the morning before you leave
It wouldn't be bad if I could make you understand, yeah
It would be sweet, come on and hold me in the morning (I won't live if you leave me, baby)
How can I make you understand? (long distance)

Curiosity

When we decided to become lovers,
Boy, I knew there was a chance it wouldn't end well
We kept colliding with these things that I wanted
This union to do for a suffering sense of myself
Now I can see you're not one for me
But I still got smoke in my eyes
You come and you leave, you're such a mystery
And baby I got to know why
Why don't you wanna know me, no more, know me?
You're missing out, babe, I'm a prince in the perfect degree
Will I ever know you again, know you?
Boy, I'm dying of curiosity
Now we haven't talked in such a long while
Yet hear I find myself craving the rush of your smile
Now I can see you're not one for me
But I still got smoke in my eyes
You come and you leave, you're such a mystery
And baby I got to know why
He's the one that I wake up thinking about
How I was thinking about him when I fell asleep
He's the man in my dreams
And I am one who's been waiting for proof or a sign
That I am worthy of romance, and I gotta try
To find that inside of my mind
Honey, I wish you well, as I wish myself
When you come to me out of the blue, I focus on you and your health
May you be guided, awakened, delighted
By your capacity to experience love for yourself
I have been growing, growing, changing
Boy, you've given me every chance to set myself free
And I wish I could show you the world I'm making
But you never showed me that curiosity
Why don't you wanna know me, no more, know me?
You're missing out, babe, I'm a prince in the perfect degree
Will I ever know you again, know you?
Boy, I'm dying of curiosity
Boy, I'm dying of curiosity
Boy, I'm dying of curiosity

Baby Mine

Shouldn't you, shouldn't you, shouldn't you be on my mind?
Shouldn't I be all right?
Shouldn't we, shouldn't we be having a better time?
But we lie awake by blue light
I don't think we can survive
If you don't let me try
Darling, with you lying right next to me
I can't reach you
Darling, all I ever dream of is crossing your sea
To see you reaching me back to me
Baby mine
There's a gulf that reaches between us, an empty space
That your vulnerability could rest in
I'm thinking about the end, wondering whose image
You're holding onto baby, it surely isn't mine
Will our love survive, baby?
Darling, with you lying right next to me
I can't reach you
Darling, all I ever dream of is crossing your sea
To see you reaching me back to me
You there, lying next to me
Why won't you let me reach you? (let me reach you, let me reach you)
Darling, all I ever dream of is crossing your sea
I see you reaching back to me
Don't shut me out, don't shut me down, don't shut yourself in
Let me reach you (Baby mine)
Don't shut me out, don't shut me down, don't shut yourself in
Let me reach you (Baby mine)
Don't shut me out, don't shut me down, don't shut yourself in
Let me reach you (Baby mine)
Don't shut me out, don't shut me down, don't shut yourself in
Let me reach you (Baby mine)
