lyrics

When I came to you, late at night
with twenty-five candy boxes and a rose
in the candy, you didn't bite
and in the rose you didn't put your nose,
but I knew right off the bat
that you cared a little because
the answer you gave me was polite
but an answer there was

Seemingly empty,
but I'm sure there's something to see
the beast within you tamed easy
but I'm sure there's something to see

When I climbed up your wall
putting my steps in Romeo's
I never heard you shout “don't fall”
you remained indifferent and perfectly composed
but I knew right off the bat
that you cared a little because
the answer you gave me was polite
but an answer there was

Seemingly empty,
but I'm sure there's something to see
the beast within you tamed easy
but I'm sure there's something to see

And you said : “Not that I care to explain
But words are a lost cause on me”
You paused and said again :
“It would put me in great pain
to see you try this on aimlessly”
a coma and a sigh, and then you add, quote and unquote:
“my love always comes a huge dose,
and if I gave you a shot,
it might even kill you, I suppose”
but I knew right off the bat
that you cared a little because
the answer you gave me was polite
but an answer there was

Seemingly empty,
but I'm sure there's something to see
the beast within you tamed easy
but I'm sure there's something to see
