[Verse]
     
If you just get it together and read my mind
Then sleeping would be easy
     
And then I'll be there to acquiesce
                   
I confess I'm in trouble
          
Another afternoon of increments

And asking the wrong questions
      
Then you get up and leave again
                             
Just as the evening threatens to set

[Chorus]
                             
Consider this now it's not too late
                     
I have watched you change
                   
The colour of the trap before girl
                      
I have learned to wait

[Verse 2]
         
Most of the things that you say

I don't understand but I will sit and listen

I nod along attentively
                             
But the truth is I can't concentrate

[Chorus 2]
                             
Consider this now it's not too late
                     
I have watched you change
                   
The colour of the trap before girl
    
I have learned to wait
     
Make no mistake
         
Well I have learned to wait
         
And you have learned that you can make me
        
I need something to sort me out
         
I need someone to come and shake me
        
And your exit calms me down
        
Before it infuriates me
            
Girl, I'm in trouble
                                              
Wish you'd just get it together and read my mind

[Outro]
                                                         
La la la la la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
                                                         
La la la la la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
