Lyrics
[verse]
You talk around it every time we're close
Say the weather, say the traffic, say almost
I watch your hands and how they never rest
Like something's waiting deep inside your chest
I'm not asking you to hurry up and speak
Just wondering what it is you seek
[chorus]
Do you realize how simple this could be
If you just opened up and looked at me
No grand speech, no perfect line
Just a little truth would do just fine
Do you realize, do you realize
I'm right here waiting behind these tired eyes
[verse]
We've been circling this for weeks on end
Playing safe, afraid to bend
I don't need promises carved in stone
Just a little proof I'm not alone
Sometimes the bravest thing you'll do
Is say the quiet part out loud to who you're talking to
[chorus]
Do you realize how simple this could be
If you just opened up and looked at me
No grand speech, no perfect line
Just a little truth would do just fine
Do you realize, do you realize
I'm right here waiting behind these tired eyes
[bridge]
It doesn't take a miracle
It only takes a moment, that's all
Just say it plain, just say it true
I'll meet you halfway, I always do
[chorus]
Do you realize how simple this could be
If you just opened up and looked at me
No grand speech, no perfect line
Just a little truth would do just fine
Do you realize, do you realize
I'm right here waiting behind these tired eyes
