[Verse 1]
I know you're probably sick of always sorting me out
It's like I've always got the taste of orange nails in my mouth
I know you're probably exhausted 'cause I haven't slept a wink in a week
Your father doesn't like me 'cause I'm not into sports
And your mother won't approve because I'm not of the cross
I took an upper before your sister's wedding just to help me pretend

[Chorus]
And I don't know what I need
I don't know if I'll be there for you
When you're down on your knees
I don't know if I'll be there for you

[Verse 2]
I know you always feel you're by yourself in the house
This is the only night this week I haven't slept on the couch
I hope you know it breaks my heart that I'm the reason for you sleeping alone
'Cause it was always a dream just to know you
Sometimes, I find I can hardly speak your name
I know one day, I'll come home and won't find you
It's just a matter of time 'til you break from the strain

[Bridge]
And I don't wanna go outside
Don't wanna make it home tonight
If it's not you in my arms, I don't
Wanna carry it on
[Outro Chorus]
And I don't know what I need
I don't wanna go outside
I don't know if I'll be there for you
Don't wanna make it home tonight
When you're down on your knees
If it's not you in my arms, I don't
I don't know if I'll be there for you
Wanna carry it on
And I don't know what I need
I don't wanna go outside
I don't know if I'll be there for you
Don't wanna make it home tonight
When you're down on your knees
If it's not you in my arms, I don't
I don't know if I'll be there for you
Wanna carry it on
