Am I the equivalent of elevator music?
You wrap me up in empty promises
I want to want you
I want to want you
but you always leave me waiting
for the bass drop that never comes
and this melody is getting old
You pin me down
without pinning me down
and am I so desperate for love
I would accept less than the minimum
just so I can tell myself I'm wanted?
You look at me
like I'm everything
but your words betray you
your absence of touch speaks so loud
and I'm reminded of how it feels
to be unloveable
Am I so unloveable
that I just disappear
like background music
in the soundtrack of your life?
You're the song I can't turn off
until you're repeating in my sleep
and I wake up with the lyrics
of you on the tip of my tongue
You wrap me up in empty promises
I want to want you
I want to want you
and I want you to want me too
I want to want you
I want to want you
but you always leave me waiting
for the bass drop that never comes
and this melody is getting old
You pin me down
without pinning me down
and am I so desperate for love
I would accept less than the minimum
just so I can tell myself I'm wanted?
You look at me
like I'm everything
but your words betray you
your absence of touch speaks so loud
and I'm reminded of how it feels
to be unloveable
Am I so unloveable
that I just disappear
like background music
in the soundtrack of your life?
You're the song I can't turn off
until you're repeating in my sleep
and I wake up with the lyrics
of you on the tip of my tongue
You wrap me up in empty promises
I want to want you
I want to want you
and I want you to want me too
