you went back to grass
by the fence near the Amtrak,
past joggers and trainspotters,
soaking in that city heat

the spots you like to go
to sit and sulk on your lonely own, 
they pass as private,
but not as private as you try to make them seem

say you want to be alone,
i think you want to be seen

so say one thing you really mean
cause im dying for anyone 
to mean anything to me

falling into the traps
we set for our own thoughts, 
like we were trying, 
hey, why deny it
when we're this desperate to be caught?

think back on your girl,
how she hangs on your each word.
you say you love her, 
but she'll discover,
we just love being heard.

say you want to be remade--
what we both want is reassurance.

to say one thing i really mean,
well, i'd stop the show, hey, i'd give up anything.
and they run off so easily,
but when i take my mind off myself for one second
i make good company.

say you want to be alone, 
but you're still sitting here with me.

fall asleep to late night tv,
and if you only dream of
being what you see on NBC,
it's fine with me.
