Tell me like it is
I know, I know you are
I know you are
Tell me baby, tell me
How many more times will you see your face in the mirror?
How many more times for a sunset or a full moon?
Or dream or eat, or dream or sleep
Or dream or eat, or sleep?
You write yourself into your songs
When people sing them back they always sing the words wrong
But the songs are something certain to me
And mama always said, "Blood is thicker than water"
Conversation deep like water
The sky is open and limitless
Tell me like it is
I know, I know you are
I know you are
Tell me baby, tell me
How many more times will you count back from ten?
How many times for a handshake or to blow off plans?
Or dream or eat?
Or dream or sleep?
Sunken eyes, the new dawn
You change your mind
But when all is said and done
You still write yourself into these songs
Papa always said, "Blood is thicker than water"
Dedication deep like water
Our future is open and limitless
Tell me like it is
I know, I know you are
I know you are
Tell me baby, tell me
I don't wanna go
Feel it like you could
There's something in your eyes
Wasted all my time
Wasted all my time
Come on, my love
Come on, my babe
Come on, girl, I know
I don't know what I could do
Without a place to go
Something in my heart
Doesn't have the feel
Doesn't have the feel anymore
Come on baby
There can only be a place
I don't wanna go no more
This is the one today
This is the one today
This is the one today
No
No, no, no, no
