never felt this far from home

never left a love so strong

now the world is stuck on pause, yeah

cause without you emotions go!

and i hope this don't sound wrong,

but the day seems twice long

and the pain just don't feel night, no

if it's mine alone



chorus:

and maybe you sit at the window waiting

maybe the days just repeat then rewind

maybe the truth is the walls are caving in

you, say it, say it's so!

say it, say it's so!

say it, say it's so!



now i walk through endless nights

that the street lights pass the time

and even though you're call don't come no way,



i still pray you're by the phone

and i know this don't sound right no

but i hope you hurt like i

then i know you sympathize yea,

your my peace of mind



and maybe you sit at the window waiting

maybe the day just repeat then rewind

maybe the truth is the walls are caving in

say it, say it's so!

say it, say it's so!

say it, say it's so!

say it, say it's so!

say it, say it's so!



oh baby, when you look at the ceiling, yeah, yeha

on your back before dreaming

will i be last on your mind?

oh baby, when i look at the ceiling, yeah

on my back after dreaming

you're the first thing on my mind!

say what, say what, say what!

uhuu!

say what?

say it, say it's so!
