Say When

I see you there, don't know where you come from

Unaware of a stare from someone

Don't appear to care that I saw you and I want you

What's your name? 'Cause I have to know it

You let me in and begin to show it

We're terrified 'cause we're heading

Straight for it, might get it

You been the song playing on the background

All along but you're turning up now

And everyone is rising to meet you, to greet you

Turn around and you're walking toward me

I'm breaking down and you're breathing slowly

You say the word and I will be your man, your man

Say when and my own two hands

Will comfort you tonight, tonight

Say when and my own two arms

Will carry you tonight, tonight

We're coming close and then even closer

We bring it in but we go no further

We're separate, two ghosts

In one mirror, no nearer

Later on if it turns to chaos

Hurricane coming all around us

See the crack, pull it back

From the window, you stay low

Say when and my own two hands

Will comfort you tonight, tonight

Say when and my own two arms

Will carry you tonight, tonight

I come across you lost and broken

You're coming to but you're slow in waking

You start to shake, you still

Haven't spoken, what happened

They're coming back and you just don't know when

You want to cry but there's nothing coming

They're gonna push until you give in or say when

Now we're here, and it turns to chaos

Hurricane coming all around us

Double crack throws you back

From the window, you stay low

It all began with a man and country

Every plan turns another century

Around again, another nation fallen

Maybe God can be on both sides

Of the gun, never understood why

Some of us never get it so good, so good

Some of this was here before us

All of this will go after us

It never stops until we give in, give in

Or say when and my own two hands

Will comfort you tonight, tonight

Say when and my own two arms

Will carry you tonight, tonight

Say when and my own two hands

Will comfort you tonight, tonight
