Lyrics:
When you wake what is it that you think of most?
When your bed is empty do you really sleep alone?
If I imagine you, body next to another
All around me new love and it makes me sad
All around me feel assured that you’ll be back
If I imagine you, body next to another
Stop crying to the ocean, stop crying over me
Stop worrying over nothing, stop worrying over me
So, it’s been so long since you said
Well I know what I want and what I want’s right here with you
On the drive back here I was worrying over nothing
On the drive back there, tears spilling over something
When I imagine you, body next to another
In the door and you’re there and you’re sorry for the fright
In the door, can I hear you saying you don’t want to fight?
When I imagine you, body next to another
Stop crying to the ocean, stop crying over me
Stop worrying over nothing, stop worrying over me
So, it’s been so long since you said
Well I know what I want and what I want’s right here with you
It’s been so long since you said
Well I know what I want and what I want’s right here with you
In a flash it’s back to you, just brought attention to the mess
In a flash, you’re on top begging me to understand
If I imagine you, body next to another
You drop in for a minute and I’m sorry that I didn’t
Drop in sooner just to see you and see what you’ve been doing
If I imagine you, body next to another
So, it’s been so long since you said
Well I know what I want and what I want’s right here with you
It’s been so long since you said
Well I know what I want and what I want’s right here with you
It’s been so long since you said
Well I know what I want and what I want’s right here with you
It’s been so long since you said
Well I know what I want and what I want’s right here with you

Trivia and Quotes:
“This next song I wrote about like that thing that you do when you think that someone likes somebody else and you like them so you really wish that they didn’t like somebody else at the same time that you liked them and then maybe lets say like sometimes it gets so crazy that you get out of the car and you are crying and you run and lay on the sidewalk and the person is like “what the fuck.” and then you’re really embarrassed for days and then you write a song about it.” - Tegan
