Except You Lyrics by Zoe Gray

2018

Spiraled, fleeting, self-defeating thoughts plague my waking days
And in the nights– well, you don’t wanna know what’s going on there
This balcony ain’t big enough for both of us but still you stay
It’s alchemy; it’s misery, or something else entirely

I just wanna know
Won’t you let me know
I just wanna know
What’s going on inside my head

Tell me with your lips on my knuckles, with my head in your hands
With your tired eyes, let’s compromise and help me understand
Everything, say everything, gets dark sometimes, I know it to be true
Everything, oh everything, oh everything except you

Lithe and sprightly kisses, almost misses when you want to sleep
You’re always tired but the night is when the fairies dance
I like the way they try to hate the loud peculiar company we keep
Anxiety, or rivalry, or something else entirely

I just wanna know
Won’t you let me know
I just gotta know
What’s going on inside your head

Tell me with your lips on my knuckles, with my head in your hands
With your tired eyes, let’s compromise and help me understand
Everything, say everything, gets dark sometimes, I know it to be true
Everything, oh everything, say everything except you

I wanna buy you flowers; you hate roses but that’s all I’ve got
I’ll call them something else, just give me once good name, I’ll try it
Coming up on morning without warning and we might get caught
I never was the one for love, but if they ask I won’t deny it

Tell me with your lips on my knuckles, with my head in your hands
With your tired eyes, let’s compromise and help me understand
Tell me with your arms, whisk me off now to fairyland, oh
With your nervous glance, just take a chance, and help me understand
Everything, say everything, gets dark sometimes, I know it to be true
Everything, oh everything, say everything except you
