lyrics

I stood outside for hours
hands to god for the answers
frozen fingers demanding
can't pry open for asking

I might never find the answers
but I know who'll keep me warm

And you're begging for questions
on your knees for a lesson
work so hard just to do right
by all pretense and portends

come here into my cold hands
nothing to question anymore

And I don't know the words that will get you through
nothing's ever made sense to me but you
or how to convince you that you're doing alright
I may not know love, but I know what I like

there were parts of me missing
one eye on what's approaching
one hand grasping for something
one hand fighting off nothing

now you have two feet in the past
running circles in your mind

they all say that they like you
but does anyone like you?
you can't stand when they see you
tear-stained and fearing the untrue

but I like you more than breathing
fuck the demons whispering otherwise

And I don't know the words that will help you heal
the heart is a strange and stubborn thing
or how to convince you that we're doing alright
No I may not know that, but I know what I like

I know what I like

(I know what I like)
I stood outside for hours
(I know what I like)
hands to god for the answers
(I know what I like)
I stood outside for hours
(I know what I like)
hands to god, you're my answer!
