Do You Want Me Now - The Beths

Long distance is the wrong distance

And there has never been a gulf that’s quite as great

As the one we wished into existence

The one that spans between your eyes and my face

You take your time with hard decisions

All of the pieces slide cleanly into place

But this is not a rocket mission

Just a question that keeps me fast awake

In the dead of night

I’m a condemned site with the light on

Tell me what you decide on

Do you want me now?

(Do you want me? Do you want me?)

Or do you wanna leave it out

We can talk about it

I wanna tell you something but I don’t know how

Being patient’s never been my forté

And your waiting room is hard on my esteem

My demeanor has been diving all day

(I can only read so many sun-bleached magazines)

I don’t know if I’ve ever felt this way

I can’t remember if I like myself at all

Just you in this empty space

It’s getting darker the deeper that I fall

In the dead of night

I’m a condemned site with the light on

Tell me what you decide on

Do you want me now?

Or do you wanna leave it out

We can talk about it

I wanna tell you something but I don’t know how

Do you want me now?

Or is this way out of bounds?

I won’t be mad about it

If you want to go without it

I’ll see you around

In the dead of night

I’m a condemned site with the light on

So tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

Do you want me now?

Or do you wanna leave it out

We can talk about it

I wanna tell you something but I don’t know how

Do you want me now?

Or is this way out of bounds?

I won’t be mad about it

If you want to go without it

If you want to go without it

I’ll see you around
