[Verse 1]
We've only ever kissed lying down
We've only ever touched
When there's no one else around
I can be elusive
If you want me to
I'm not being intrusive
I just wish I knew the truth

As to why
I wait for you
Longer than the average person would
And why
I think about you
More than I think one should

Our bodies fit together
Like a makeshift puzzle
And it's clear to see why you puzzle me
And you turn your frame
And you whisper my name
As though I am a burden

And I know, And I know
This won't happen again
So, don't let's pretend that this is the end
Oh, this is the end

[Verse 2]
I am at your house
So I belong to you for now
Trying to impress you
But lord I don't know how
I can be a statue
If you want me to
I'm not being difficult
I just need to know the truth

As to why
I'm wanting you
And I would take you if I could
And why I'm still lay here
It's something I still haven't understood

Our hands rest together
Like pieces of paper
But they're always blank
When I hold your hand
And it gave you a fright
When I stayed the night
Cause you gave yourself to me

[Chorus]
Because I'm making up for last time
And I'm making up for you
And I'm waking up from last night
And I'm waking up with you
So what's new?
So what's new?
So what's new?

Our hands rest together
Like pieces of paper
But they're always blank
When I hold your hand
And it gave you a fright
When I stayed the night
Cause you gave yourself to me

[Chorus]
