You pack my bags I feel already gone.....
I've had to watch your silent face moving
around the house,
It's been several days, you can really
shut me out.
I draw up my thoughts to find a way to say
Something mending us, you shrug and then
you turn away.
You pack my bags I feel already gone....
It's like you pushed me with your hand and I
was pointing forward.
I could've been blindfolded and I'd know
where the door was.
I had to step aside, I had to be perfect.
I had to hold your hand, anticipate and second
guess.
And would you wipe it out with that much
distaste,
Take it from your heart, the hands, the lips,
the mouth, the taste.
It is more than hurt I can't communicate.
What you leave me with, the ache, the ache,
the ache.
You pack my bags I feel already gone.
Like the countries that seem to shuffle
into war,
The way it's lining up baby, we've been
here before.
We never took the time for no diplomacy.
How am I supposed to know what you're
not telling me?
When I'm standing here with my rugged choir,
You can't hurt me now I'm holding all the wires.
Calling down to you with a grateful sigh,
Thank you baby, you have sent me high.
You pack my bags I feel already gone....
Already gone, already gone.
Yeah, I'm gone.
You pack my bags and now I'm gone.
Now I'm gone...
Everyday I'm growing a little bit closer to you.
I find myself doing everything you ask me to do.
We talk a little then you say you have to be gone.
But when you leave me the memory hangs on and on.
Why don't you linger a little bit longer.
Won't you linger a little bit longer.
Move in closer now feel my love grow stronger.
Linger a little bit longer,
A little bit longer.
I can see you thinking about what your love means to me.
I can sense the feelings that nobody else sees.
You're always in a rush how I wish you'd take a little time.
Why run when one kiss could make you mine all mine.
Why don't you linger a little bit longer.
Won't you linger a little bit longer.
Move in closer feel my love grow stronger.
Linger a little bit longer.
Breaks me up every time that you go away,
Wouldn't it be simpler all round if you were to stay, yeah.
Linger a little bit longer.
Won't you linger just a little bit longer.
Move in closer feel my love grow stronger.
Linger a little bit longer.
Won't you linger a little bit longer......move in closer.
Feel my love grow stronger.
Linger, a little bit longer.
Why don't you linger a little bit longer
Won't you linger a little bit longer.
Move in closer feel my love grow stronger..
I replay the memories in my mind.
I try to find the answers,
To the questions I find.
I can never seem to work it out.
What goes on inside.
Tell me is it secret?
Or am I just blind.
And the further we go,
The more that I know,
We just can't keep going this way.
If you could only tell me baby what you needed tonight.
Maybe I could do my best to stop you walkin'
out of my life.
If you could only see inside my heart,
You'd know this was right...so right.
If I could just read your mind.
If I could just read your mind.
Oh come on boy, just lay it on the line.
I can wait no longer,
For the right place or right time.
Do I need to spell it out to you?
What more can I say.
Tell me is it over,
Or have we just lost our way.
And the further we go,
The more that I know,
We just can't keep going this way.
If you could only tell me baby what you needed tonight.
Maybe I could do my best to stop you walkin'
out of my life.
If you could only see inside my heart,
You'd know this was right...so right...so right.
If I could just read your mind.
Oh baby, if I could just read your mind.
If you could only,
Maybe I could do my best to stop you walkin'
out of my life.
If you could only see inside my heart,
You'd know this was right...so right...so right.
If I could just read your mind.
If I could just read your mind.
Oh baby.
