Wake me up inside
Take me 'cross that line, yeah
Find where I hide.
Breakin' down my wall
Chicken out by fall, yeah
It's been so long.

Yeah, yeah.
Cause I've been
Through it all before
And won't anymore
Land on the floor,
Just a man
With my heart in my hand.

And I can't understand why you were
The one to stick around
Now that you have found
I could let you down
Though I tend
To pretend
Girl, you're comin' so close
Comin' so close
Comin' so close.

And she said,
"I need to know where this is going.
I need to feel like you are for real.
Can't give myself to you without knowin'
If you'll be there."

You waste your time on me,
Stay 'cause you believe I can be what you need
Breakin' down my wall
Chicken out by fall, yeah
It's been so long, yeah, yeah.

Cause I've been
Through it all before
And won't anymore
Land on the floor,
Just a man
With my heart in my hand.

And I can't understand why you were
The one to stick around
Now that you have found
I could let you down
Though I tend
To pretend
Girl, you're comin' so close
Comin' so close
Comin' so close.

And she said,
"I need to know where this is going.
I need to feel like you are for real.
Can't give myself to you without knowin'
If you'll be there."

But at the time of the four months
The way will clear
And I'll lose my fear
And I will search my soul
And I will find my way in time
And I will lose control
Walkin' blind I'll step across that line
To you, yeah.

And she said,
"I need to know where this is going.
I need to feel like you are for real.
Can't give myself to you without knowin'
If you'll be,
If you'll be there."

Yeah!
Said I
Said I need to know
I need to know
I need to, need to, need to
Need to, need to
Know!
