Verse1

I wanted to follow you down

 To your well-furnished cave and to laugh at your art

I wanted to tell you the truth

 But I'm always afraid that you'll be torn apart

Oh Say the word and I'll tell you you're wrong

Oh Say the word, I've been waiting for so long

Chorus

But when you talk,

there's nothing to hear

I'm always changing,

you're too far or too near

Verse2

I wanted to tell her the truth

 But I'm always afraid that it's not in her heart

I wanted to say how I felt

 But I'm always afraid that she'll stop when I start

Oh Say the word, when we're there at her home

Oh Say the word, 'cause I don't want to be alone

Chorus

But when she talks

She's all that I hear

How can I help it

You are always too near
