"Tell Me" lyrics

"Tell Me"
(with Cold Specks)

How could? How could you tell me?
How could? How could you tell me?
How could? How could you tell me?
How could? How could you tell me?

An examination, a greeting in the night
My hands are clean as bones
I am thrown too far
Jam me into place

How could? How could you tell me?
How could? How could you tell me?

Didn't I measure time?
I was always wide awake in the night
I was always wrong and weak
You went out of line
Didn't I measure time?
I was always wide awake in the night
I was always wrong and weak
You went out of line

Last time your cold cold bed
Didn't have the heat
I gave you memories
Cling deeper please

Didn't I measure time?
I was always wide awake in the night
I was always wrong and weak
You went out of line
Didn't I measure time?
I was always wide awake in the night
I was always wrong and weak
You went out of line

I got nowhere to stay tonight
Won't you make me stay?
Keep your clear eyes on the prize

Oh, Alexander
Bring me to your knees
Oh, Alexander
Bring me to your knees

Didn't I measure time?
I was always wide awake in the night
I was always wrong and weak
You went out of line
Didn't I measure time?
I was always wide awake in the night
I was always wrong and weak
You went out of line

Didn't I measure time?
I was always wide awake in the night
I was always wrong and weak
You went out of line
Didn't I measure time?
I was always wide awake in the night
I was always wrong and weak
You went out of line

Didn't I measure time?
I was always wide awake in the night
I was always wrong and weak
Combined
Didn't I measure time?
I was always wide awake in the night
I was always wrong and weak
Combined
