Caught up in dreamin', the reoccurrin' kind
I heard myself screamin' on a roller coaster ride
Now you're all over me like some nervous pup
I push you down, you keep sittin' up

Tell me where you're off runnin' to?
I'd buy you a leash if you want me to
I would do that for you 'cause you're not the stayin' kind
Come to think of it, neither am I
I just leave my stuff behind

I need you more than I ever knew
More than you'll ever know
These words in my head that I wish I could have said
You never know they might be worth waiting for

Come up close, can you hear me?
Did you think it was easy?

Well, I'm still the same
And nothing's changed, you know
When you're near me, I just freak out completely
Nothing's changed, I'm still the same and all

But I need you more than I ever knew
More than you'll ever know
These words in my head, that I wish I could have said
You never know they might be worth waiting for

I lay down beside you, I savor the time
But later at night you'll just change your mind
'Cause you're not the staying kind
