"Not Quite There" lyrics

"Not Quite There"
(feat. telebasher)

Do you have some time to talk?
I don't mean to make you stop
And I'm so sorry if it's hard
But I can't open up my heart
I want it, I want it to be real
(But you don't make it much better)
Locked in a box for half my life
(Hands stay stuck upon the clock)
I wish that you could make me feel
(And if you could then it'd be better)
But I'm adrift in my own time
(And all I ever do is watch)

You wanna feel it but it's not quite there
You want the rush of a love unfair
You wanna feel it but it's not quite there
It'll hold you and you just don't care

Falling in and out of love
Just can't seem to get enough
Of both sides
(And you don't make it much better)
God I need to feel your touch
I'm a goddamn idiot, for this time
(But maybe it could work later)
'Cause all I ever do is watch

I want it, I want it to feel bad
('Cause it would make it much better)
Stuck in a loop, a part to play
(Such a goddamn idiot)
Baby, think about the pain we've had
(And we can save it for later)
Maybe you can throw a hit my way
(Oh gummy worm, gotta make it hurt)
And if you're lucky you can see
What happens if you use my key
But if you knew Pandora's box
Ha, YOU'D NEVER EVER OPEN THIS LOCK
(And all you'd ever do is watch)

You wanna feel it but it's not quite there
You want the rush of a heart laid bare
You wanna feel it but it's not quite there
It'll hit you and you just don't care

Falling in and out of love
Why won't you just call my bluff?
I'm tongue tied
(And you don't make it much better)
God I need to get fucked up
I could never get enough
For this time
(But maybe it could work later)
'Cause all I ever do is watch

La
Falling in and out of love
Just can't seem to get enough
Falling in and out of love, whoa
You wanna feel it but it's not quite there
Bah dah dah ee ah bah doo dah dee dah
Bah bah dah dah ee ah bah doo dah dee dah
And you don't make it much better
In and out of love
Just can't seem to get enough
Falling in and out of love, for this time
And you don't make it much better
Falling in and out of love
Just can't seem to get enough
Falling in and out of love, whoa

You wanna feel it but it's not quite there
And all I ever do is-
