I ran through the garden of evil
Trace your steps I saw it all
Did he hold your hands the way you prefer?
Did he ask you like I asked you our first time?

Turn the light off
I don’t wanna see myself doing this
I just wanna love you
I just wanna love you as much as he did

I ran through the garden of evil
Take some steps, I pull away
Why am I running if he keeps slowing?
So I hesitate

Oh, is this really what you want from me?
(Oh, is this really what you want from me?)
Oh, is this really what you want from me?

Turn the light off
I don’t wanna see myself doing this
I just wanna love you
I just wanna love you as much as he did

And maybe this time, we can do it right
So I say, close your eyes and maybe this time
We can do it right, so I say, close your eyes
And take your time, don’t be afraid

I fell into a wishing well
So that’s where I’ve been drinking
Turns out it drove into the ground
So much for wishful thinking

I fell into a wishing well
So that’s where I’ve been drinking
Turns out it drove into the ground
So much for wishful thinking

Is this really what you want from me?
I fell into a wishing well, so that’s what I’ve been drinking
Is this really what you want from me?
I fell into a wishing well, so that’s what I’ve been drinking

Turn the lights on
Pick me up and carry me away from this
I don’t want you to love me
I don’t want you to love me just like they did

And maybe this time we can do it right
So I say, close your eyes
And maybe this time we can do it right
So I say, close your eyes, take your time don’t be afraid
