excuse me, but i've got a request
could you take the gag off of my mouth
i admit that i'm fairly impressed
cause you're the best at blocking me out
i believe that we weren't quite done
i know it's hard to hear me out again
i realize, you're not the only one
who's terrified of life from end to end
hey hey, can you hear anything i say
i'm feeling unwanted, that's not what i wanted
and attention to me is something you refuse to pay
riff 1
cause i just can't believe the way that this
C *
i say i wish you didn't always think i'm wrong
so tell me
tell me what will it take to get this through your head
and tell me what will it take
Riff 2
excuse me, but isn't this the way
that things always turn into something good
you've tried to ignore the things i say
but in the end you found you never could
hey hey, can you hear anything i say
you search for the short-cut, you live life but for what
i love you and hope you will find the truth some day
so tell me
and tell me what will it take
to get this through your head
and tell me what will it take
To get you my good side again
and tell me what will it take
to get this through your head
and tell me what will it take
riff 3
and then you'll see things through from end to end
