Duncan Sheik - Little Hands lyrics

I've been waiting for such a very long time - For her to be free

The evening was nice but there were too many people

And all my thoughts so depraved and evil

Oh lord what would she say (she says:)

I'm afraid it's not to be

You're a sweet guy but you ain't for me

I live my life in a different way

You know those things you're thinking are a big mistake

We stayed out late 'til morning came

I said "I'll take you home if it's all the same"

Her indifference fills the room

Some weak seduction on the morning after

How it slays me every time I touch her

But she just wants to sleep

(she says:) How long 'til you understand

The last thing that I need is another man

Didn't you promise to give it a rest

Right now I need a lover like a hole, like a hole in the chest

Oh well, can't blame a guy for tryin'

And I'm smiling even though I'm dying

To know the love she says will never be

One last conversation in the crowded bar

And even though the music is louder by far

I hear every word she says

(she says:) Don't take it bad...don't worry about it

You're a friend of mine and there's no way around it

Sometimes you get there early, sometimes you get there late

But even if you had a chance, you never knew the game

Little hands, open smile - I"m glad we got to talk for a while

I feel ok...yeah i'm feeling better

I'll let her go but I'll never say never

It's ok..yeah..it's ok
