Lyrics
You were always my favorite contradiction
A star of David playing Jars of Clay
You don't like to swear, but you'll swear that you don't lie
And then you'll smile at me and lie right to my face
There's an edge to that grin that your eyes they just can't match
But I always knew better than that
And if my heart is a hallway
Lined with rooms in a soul I've yet to find
Oh then I'll be standing in your doorway
Hoping you'll ask if I'll stay the night
Lying in your bed, you cracked me open
But now there's so much that we don't say
And it's not that I don't think about you
It's just so damn hard for me to communicate
You're so hard to read
Sometimes you're all I have, sometimes you're all I need
And if my heart is a hallway
Lined with rooms in a soul I've yet to find
Oh then I'll be standing in your doorway
Hoping you'll ask if I'll stay the night
And if words can be spoken
Without expectations being broken
Then let me offer a few
I love you
Somedays I'm not sure
If you've ever heard how wonderful you are
And if my heart is a hallway
Lined with rooms in a soul I've yet to find
Oh then I'll be standing in your doorway
Hoping you'll ask if I'll,
Hoping you'll ask if I'll,
Hoping you'll ask if I'll stay the night
