I need you more than sunlight
Though it makes me feel right
I'm seasonal depressive
I've got flowers waiting for you
Though I'll never see you
I'll still leave the light on
And you'll tell me I don't need you
Say the world is waiting for you
It's best you keep your shoes on
I'll say nothing happens easy
Just smile and don't get queasy
And pray that you'll be alright
Oh, nothing feels right
I have a heart but it's made of machines
I have a soul but I'm ready to scream
Nothing feels right
I have a heart but it's made of machines
I have a soul but I'm ready to scream
I have 10 good reasons not to
Leave me when I tell you
I could live without you
Because I need you more than sunlight
Though it makes me feel right
I'm seasonal depressive
Oh, nothing feels right
I have a heart but it's made of machines
I have a soul but I'm ready to scream
Nothing feels right
I have a heart but it's made of machines
I have a soul but I'm ready to scream
Nothing feels right
I have a heart but it's made of machines
I have a soul but I'm ready to scream
Say what you say but say it nice
Say what you say but don't be so mean
Say what you say but say it nice
Say what you say but don't be so mean
Look around you at the falling leaves
Do you like what you see
Look around at the one you love
Does she look like me?
Say what you say but say it nice
Say what you say but don't be so mean
Say what you say but say it nice
Say what you say but don't be so mean
Look around you at the falling leaves
Do you like what you see
Look around at the one you love
Does she look like me?
Ooooh, ooooh
Say what you say but say it nice
Say what you say but don't be so mean
Say what you say but say it nice
Say what you say but don't be so mean
Look around you at the falling leaves
Do you like what you see
Look around at the one you love
Does she look like me?
Ooooh, ooooh
Ooooh, ooooh
Are you the one that I want to grow old with?
And what if there's something and I can't get over it?
Say that I'm sorry but I can't ignore it
My heart's artificial but life still flows out of it
Ooooh, ooooh
Ooooh, ooooh
Ooooh, ooooh
Ooooh, ooooh
Hi my name's Elizabeth
I shake your hand, say I'm glad we met
I've been working on some things
The best things, well, I haven't got to yet
But I promise you
The next time that we meet I'll be up there
Sorry we live in a boring town
Sorry the good people never stick around
Maybe we'll move up to New York
And catch up with all our friends who moved up there
What the future holds
As long as it's with you, well I don't care
I don't know the way to get out of grey life
I don't know the way to get out of here
I don't know the way to get out of grey life
I don't know the way to get out of here
Maybe we'll give up on the South
And find a place where seasons really change
Maybe you'll get a record deal
Maybe I'll finally learn to play guitar
What the future holds
As long as it's with you, well I don't care
I don't know the way to get out of grey life
I don't know the way to get out of here
I don't know the way to get out of grey life
I don't know the way to get out of here
I don't know the way to get out of grey life
I don't know the way to get out of here
I don't know the way to get out of grey life
I don't know the way to get out of here
