lyrics

you were always a hundred feet too tall
your sweet and steady ways were enough to make me fall
you're shining high above
impossible to touch
so something's telling me that I want you way too much

can we just talk about it
I think I need to hear you say
that you never should have let me leave that night or that you never really felt the same way
can't live in purgatory for another day
an angel sings a pretty thing but then he just walks away

remember drinking down by the canal that summer night
put your turquoise jacket on and saw your eyes ignite
whenever they're on me
I think I almost see
a part of you that wants me and that's what haunts me and keeps me up at night

can we just talk about it
I think I need to hear you say
that you never should have let me leave that night or that you never really felt the same way
can't live in purgatory for another day
an angel boy's a pretty toy but he'll never ask you to stay

I gave up, I moved on
ready set to let you go
but then you grabbed my hand and pulled me in
a single kiss, perfect 10
then you disappeared again
tell me now I need to hear
I felt your hand on my waist the night we danced
and the way that you touched me
I never stood a chance

can we just talk about it
I think I need to hear you say
that you never should have let me leave that night or that you never really felt the same way
can't live in purgatory for another goddamn day
an angel sings a pretty thing but then he just walks away

(oohs)
