I count the freckles on your back, while we’re lying on the couch
in our not-so-private habitat
They remind me of the endless ways that this could go,
they remind me of how I always need to know
Playing in the big leagues with the big boys, real men
This little girl’s got a lot to learn
Sometimes my thoughts control my body and my soul
I’m drowning in a sea of fears
And I don't know where to go, don’t know where to go
Last week I would’ve thought that I could go to you
But right now I’m not so sure, and I don't know what to do
Tell me, tell me baby
Tell me, tell me that you care
Tell me, so I don’t go crazy,
Could this be going somewhere?
Time passes slowly and the only comfort I can find,
Is what you told me, but I know me, and my mind
And your silence makes me doubt all that I held true,
makes me doubt what I knew, and all that I believed in, that I believed in
Nothing’s lost and I’m still sane,
But I can’t just let this go
Something’s pulsing through my veins
Maybe you’re not what I need right now,
maybe I’m not what you want,
Maybe I just need to be somehow,
It’s not easy growing up
Last week I would’ve thought that I could go to you
But right now I’m not so sure, and I don't know what to do
Tell me, tell me baby
Tell me, tell me that you care
Tell me, so I don’t go crazy,
Could this be going somewhere?
