  • You only with me in the morning
    You only hold me when I sleep
    And I was meant to tread the water
    But now I've gotten in too deep
    For every piece of me that wants you, mm-mm
    Another piece backs away

    'Cause you give me something
    That makes me scared, alright
    This could be nothing
    But I'm willing to give it a try
    Please give me something
    'Cause someday I might know my heart

    You only waited up for hours
    Just to spend a little time alone with me
    And I can say I've never bought you flowers
    Mmm-mm, I can't work out what the mean
    I never thought that I'd love someone
    That was someone else's dream

    As you give me something
    That makes me scared, alright
    This could be nothing
    But I'm willing to give it a try
    Please give me something
    'Cause someday I might call you from my heart

    But it might me a second too late
    And the words I could never say
    Gonna come out anyway

    Mmm-mm, mm-mm-mm
    'Cause you give me something
    That makes me scared, alright
    This could be nothing
    But I'm willing to give it a try

    Please give me something
    Mmm, 'cause you give me something
    That makes me scared, alright
    This could be nothing
    But I'm willing to give it a try
    Please give me something
    'Cause someday I might know my heart
