If there's someone waiting counting minutes ticking by

For a message to come through or for your voice on the line

If there's a message sewn in secret with the strings of her heart

Trace lines left by cupid's needle when you're feeling far apart Why would I wanna know?

If there's a memory made with her held in your mind so dear

Some memento that you treasure hiding in plain sight 'round here

Some keepsake you touch when I'm not around

If you lose your breath for missing someone in another town

Why would I wanna know?

Why would I wanna know about a heart split in two?

Why would I wanna hear how well she understands you? Why would I wanna feel like I'm playing the fool?

Why would I wanna know for certain what I already do? Why would I wanna know?

Truth ain't always a gift laid out in the light

Some things are better kept in the dark of night

Your fingers flutter 'cross your lips like they belong to someone else

Heard you hummin' old love songs when you think you're by yourself

You're only half paying attention to what's going on at home

Never leave the room without picking up your phone

I'll never ask you straight to say what's bound to only hurt us more

We said no strings at the start, but that was years ago
