Long Game

Tell me the words that you want to hear
 You know I'll say 'em
 'Cause all of the things that you want with your sweet mind
 I hope I can be 'em
 I'm playing the long game
 I'm biding my time
 I hope you hear my name when you fall asleep tonight
 I'll be the backstage pass that
 You never have to show
 I'm falling in love and I hope that you don't know
 So hand me your heart if you feel so inclined
 You know I'll take it
 And I'm sleeping alone in my bedroom tonight
 I hope you can fix it
 I'm dancing at stop signs
 I'm thinking of you
 I see your face on every street and avenue
 I'm taking my mark but
 Not running too fast
 I want something good and I want to make it last
 Please don't say my name
 When you need someone and
 Please don't say my name
 Just to fill the space
 'Cause I watch you like a ghost watches the living and divine
 And I love you like a preacher loves the world and Jesus Christ
 I'm biting my tongue
 I'm speaking too much
 I'm wishing that almost could ever be enough
 I'm staring at ceilings
 You're all I desire
 I drown it out and out, just to set it back on fire
 Please don't say my name
 When you need someone and
 Please don't say my name
 Just to fill the space
 'Cause I watch you like a ghost watches the living and divine
 And I love you like a preacher loves the world and Jesus Christ
