You've Got To Show
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yes it's true
I've gotten very
Moody over you
Don't think I don't
Sense your caution
Way across the room
Or across the phone lines
Big Black Ocean
Conversation brief
We can't find
A clear connection
And I can't get relief
Why don't we both agree?
We're both afraid
And too afraid to say
If I said
Count to three
(Count to three)
Move toward me
(Move toward me)
Would you meet me half way (would you meet me?)
There are a thousand things about me
I want only you to know
But I can't got there alone
You've got to show
While you occupy me
I command my dreams
Each day
To bring you in me
Even thinly
As the morning chases you away
I half believe
If I just picture us
We will come true
Wishful thinking
Or my hopes sinking
Half depends on you
Why don't we both agree?
(Why don't we both agree?)
We're both afraid
And too afraid to say
(Too afraid to say)
If I said
Count to three
(Count to three)
Move toward me
(Move toward me)
Would you meet me half way (would you meet me?)
There are a thousand things about me
I want only you to know
but I can't got there alone
You've got to show me
(Show me)
You are fully alive
If you want to fly
Take this dive
If you want to kiss
Kiss for real
I'll give you back everything you feel
Drive and space
That peaceful place
You'd be my secret sharer
Front and back
And all around
The thin margin of error
Ah move to fast
Or move to slow
Or somewhere in between
Or navigate your
Perfect distance
Your get away is clean
Why don't we both agree?
That we're both afraid
And we're too afraid to say
If I said
Count to three
Move toward me
Would you meet me half way?
Cause there are a thousand things about me
I want only you to know
I want only you to know
I want only you to know
But I can't got there alone
You've got to show
