The story of a boy and a girl who can't quite be together yet, narrated by deep brooding vocals and a deeper melodic bassline.

lyrics

Because you've been honest
I feel I must be honest back
You said you want it
And I believe you
Due to your history
I see why you'd be hesitant
But I promise you, girl
I won't deceive you

And I can tell you're scared
That you're not prepared to let me in
So should I get out
Maybe I should save myself
Put desire on a shelf but you are all
I think about

Unless I can be
Something you've never had before
I have to live with what we are
I have to live with what we are

You might just not get it
You might not see what I see in you
But you're someone I can't help but be with
Because when I see you
Even though you might not see like me
You make me grateful for eyes to see with

But maybe we'll just stay friends
So long as when this ends you'll still be here
To help me through
And if that's all we are
I'm doing fine so far so I'll be here
Waiting for you

Unless I can be
Something you've never had before
I have to live with what we are
I have to live with what we are

I have to live with what we are
