I hold all nights sacred, I hold up my back
Till the days with no direction plagued me once again
I tell you I'm down and I want something more
You wonder, you whisper, you don't
With this romanticism filling up my chest
You ask me if I'm ready, no, of course not yet
I see you seven days, but then not for 17
The longing, the waiting routine (yeah)
When only thinking about you doesn't seem to help
I like staying in the back and being by myself
I like staying in the back and being by myself
This new initiation comes as no surprise
Dark baptism, open up my eyes
When every day is long, and still I run out of time
Whose cycle, whose pattern? Not mine
What you call pleasure really hurts my head
A call of ballads mixed with real-life dread
I know that I'm strange and I...
Know that you're the one I like
I'm not like them other boys
I'm not like those other guys
When the waking up ritual isn't working out
I'm in need of a blessing and I need caffeine
Now (in need of a blessing and I need caffeine now)
When the will of another leaves me in chains
I'll do surgery on myself today
When I'm not beside you, I'm wasting time
When I'm not beside you, where am I to mind
When only thinking about you doesn't seem to help
I like to stay in the back and be by myself
Suffer alone and be by myself
I know that I'm strange and I...
Know that you're the one I like
I know that I'm strange and I...
Know that you're the one I like
