Hello, I've waited here for you
Everlong
Tonight, I throw myself into
And out of the red
Out of her head, she sang
Something’s getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
So tell me how it should be
So tell me how it should be
And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
(Now I'm falling asleep and she’s calling a cab
While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag)
If anything could ever bе this good again
(Now they're going to bed, and my stomach is sick
And it's all in my hеad, but she's touching his)
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
(Chest now, he takes off her)
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
(Dress now, let me go)
She sang
And I just can’t look, it’s killing me
They're taking control
(She sang)
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibis
(I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane)
But it’s just the price I pay, destiny is calling me
(As I burn another page, as I look the other way)
Open up my eager eyes, 'cause I'm Mr. Brightside
(I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane)
Breaking my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
(Try to find out what makes you tick
As I lie down, sore and sick
Do you like that, do you like that?)
I’m breaking my back just to know your name
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink, you might miss
'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
(Something's getting in the way)
I said, oh, heaven ain't close in a place like this
(Something's just about to break)
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight (Ooh-ooh)
(I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane)
Well, somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
(As I burn another page, as I look the other way)
It's not confidential, I've got potential
(I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane)
Ready? Let's roll onto something new
Taking its toll then I'm leaving without you
(I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out)
'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said, oh, heaven ain't close in a place like this
(I will remember you
Your silhouette will charge the v- *beep*)
Mister Marks, can you find for me
Someone strong and sweet fitting on my knee?
She can keep her job if she gets it wrong
Ah, but, Mister Marks, I won't need her long
All I need is help for a little while
We can take dictation and learn to smile
And a temporary secretary
Is what I need for to do the job
I need a
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary
Mister Marks, I can pay her well
(Change my pitch up
Smack my bitch up)
If she comes along and can stay a spell
I will promise now that I'll treat her right
(Change my pitch up
Smack my bitch up)
And will rarely keep her 'til late at night
I need a
(Temporary secretary, temporary secretary)
It's in the palm of your hand now, baby
It's a yes or a no, no maybe
(Temporary secretary, temporary secretary)
Make me your Aphrodite
Make me your one and only
(Temporary secretary, temporary secretary)
So just be sure before you give it all to me
All to me, give it all to me
So you wanna play with magic?
Boy, you should know what you're fallin' for
Baby, do you dare to do this?
'Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse
And I just can't look, it's killing me
They're taking control
They're taking control
'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said, oh, heaven ain't close in a place like this
'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said, oh, heaven ain't close in a place like this
'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said, oh, heaven ain't close in a place like this
'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said, oh, heaven ain't close in a place like this…
