Do I stress you out?
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say, how appropriate
I don't like to dissect everything today
I don't mean to pick you apart you see
But I can't help it

And there I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered ruler
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already
If only I could hunt the hunter

And all I really want is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice
And all I really want is deliverance, ah

Do I wear you out?
You must wonder why I'm relentless and all strung out
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary
I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy

And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the maker
And I am fascinated by the spiritual man
I am humbled by his humble nature, yeah

And what I wouldn't give to find a soul mate?
Someone else to catch this drift
And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred? Ah

Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute
Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while
The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses is falling
All around, all around

Why are you so petrified of silence?
Here can you handle this?
Did you think about your bills, you ex, your deadlines
Or when you think you're going to die?
Or did you long for the next distraction?

And all I need now is intellectual intercourse
A soul to dig the hole much deeper
And I have no concept of time other than it is flying
If only I could kill the killer

And all I really want is some peace man
A place to find a common ground
And all I really want is a wavelength, ah
And all I really want is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied
And all I really want is some justice, ah

It's all I really want, some patience
A way to calm me down
And all I really want is deliverance
A place to find a common ground

you say i talk so all the time so.

and i thought what i felt was simple,

and i thought that i don't belong,

and now that i am leaving,

now i know that i did something wrong 'cause i missed you.

yeah, i missed you.

and you say i only hear what i want to:

i don't listen hard,

i don't pay attention to the distance that you're running

or to anyone, anywhere,

i don't understand if you really care,

i'm only hearing negative: no, no, no.

so i turned the radio on, i turned the radio up,

and this woman was singing my song:

the lover's in love, and the other's run away,

the lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay.
Lisa Loeb - Stay - http://motolyrics.com/lisa-loeb/stay-lyrics.html
some of us hover when we weep for the other who was

dying since the day they were born.

well, this is not that:

i think that i'm throwing, but i'm thrown.

and i thought I'd live forever, but now i'm not so sure.

you try to tell me that i'm clever,

but that won't take me anyhow, or anywhere with you.

you said that i was naive,

and i thought that i was strong.

i thought, "hey, i can leave, i can leave."

but now i know that i was wrong, 'cause i missed you.

you said, "i caught you 'cause i want you and one day i'll let you go."

"you try to give away a keeper, or keep me 'cause you know you're just scared to lose.

and you say, "stay."

you say i only hear what i want to.
