[Verse 1]
When it gets dark
I'll leave my window open a crack and pull you up
Into a world of dust and sparks
Wait a minute while I check to see if anyone's up, oh

[Verse 2]
For love like ours
I'd swim through rivers and oceans of tar
Wait a minute while I catch a rainbow in the jar
Wait a minute while I never stop to tell myself

[Pre-Chorus]
It's not what you said
It's not what you said
It's not what you said
It's not what you said
It's not what you said
It's not what you said

[Chorus]
It's not what you said
It's how you said it with those eyes
Looking through mine
Like a bitter child
Like a fading light
That crossed my mind
Before I said
Before I said:

[Post-Chorus]
"I want you"
"I want you"

[Verse 2]
To be so sure
One step forward and two steps more
Wait a minute while I tell myself I'm not just a whore
Wait a minute while I never stop to tell myself

[Pre-Chorus]
It's not what you said
It's not what you said
It's not what you said
It's not what you said
It's not what you said
It's not what you said

[Chorus]
It's not what you said
It's how you said it with those eyes
Looking through mine
Like a bitter child
Like a fading light
That crossed my mind
Before I said
Before I said:

[Post-Chorus]
"I want you"
"I want you"
"I want you"
"I want you"

[Pre-Chorus]
It's not what you said
It's not what you said
It's not what you said
It's not what you said
It's not what you said
It's not what you said

[Chorus]
It's not what you said
It's how you said it with those eyes
Looking through mine
Like a bitter child
Like a fading light
That crossed my mind
Before I said
Before I said:

[Post-Chorus]
"I want you"
"I want you"
"I want you"
"I want you"
