The Outside
In the heat of the fight
I walked away
Ignoring words that you were saying
Trying to make me stay
I said "this time
I’ve had enough"
And you’ve called a hundred times
But I’m not picking up
'Cause I’m so mad, I might tell you
That it’s over
But if you look a little closer
I said leave, but all I really want is you
To stand outside my window,
Throwing pebbles screaming, “I’m in love with you!”
Wait there in the pouring rain
Come back for more
And don’t you leave 'cause I know all I need is
On the other side of the door
Me and my stupid pride
Are sitting here alone
Going through the photographs
Staring at the phone
I keep going back over
The things we both said
And I remember the slamming door
And all the things that I missread
So baby you know everything
Tell me why you couldn’t see
When I left I wanted you to chase after me, yeah
I said leave, but all I really want is you
To stand outside my window,
Throwing pebbles screaming, “I’m in love with you”
Wait there in the pouring rain
Come back for more
And don’t you leave 'cause I know all I need is
On the other side of the door
And I scream out the window
I can’t even look at you
I don’t need you but I do, I do, I do
I say "there’s nothing you can say
To make this right again"
I mean it , I mean it
What I mean is...
I said leave, but baby all I want is you
To stand outside my window,
Throwing pebbles screaming, “I’m in love with you”
Wait there in the pouring rain
Come back for more
And don’t you leave cause I know all I need is
On the other side of the door
With your face and your beautiful eyes
And the conversations with the little white lies
And the faded picture of a beautiful night
You carried me from your car up the stairs
And I broke down crying
Was she worth this mess?
After everything and that little black dress
After everything I must confess
I need you
