Kissing in a classroom
On a campus on the coast
After hours of analysis
I loved you first
Yeah I loved you the most
Now it feels like paralysis
And I got no idea where we're going with this
No I don't know where we're gonna land
And it might go better
If we do it by the letter
So I need to know where I stand

Killing in a comedy club in hollywood
After years of psychotherapy
You were gone forever
Now you say you're back for good
I swear to god you're gonna bury me

And the people all laugh
But I'm dead on the inside
I'll do anything you command
Yeah you tell me that you love me
Yet you won't even hug me
So I need to know where I stand
Yes I need to know where I stand

Could you ple-ee-ee-ee-ease
Tell me if you can
Tell me if you can
Cos I nee-ee-ee-eed
Yes I need to know where I stand

Quiet in the kitchen of a crackajack box
In the hamlet of a wall kill
I miss you so much
That it hurts me to talk
You're just standing right in front of me still

And I'm reaching for you but you're falling away
This has gotten so outta hand
Well the world might end in a minute my friend
So I need to know where I stand
Yes I need to know where I stand

Would you ple-ee-ee-ee-ease
Tell me if you can
Tell me if you can

Cos I nee-ee-ee-eed
Yes I need to know where I stand
Yeah I need to know where I stand
Yeah I need to know where I stand
