When the Clock Strikes - Contact Lyrics

Your embrace can chase away the rain
But there are days we fail to make contact
And as you walk away
You're dry and unaware
I'm soaking in dismay
Yeah
And under my breath
I'm prefacing your name
With words I shouldn't say

And when I see you next
I might act like I don't care
But I really wish that you would talk to me
But if you wait too long
It won't be very nice
'Cause in keeping my heart safe
I've surrounded it with ice

So you're hit with cold replies
I've got a runny nose
And something in my eyes

I'm so angry and tired of feeling alone
And my frustration will rise
As I keep missing you
Over and over and over and over

I could stick with you for my whole life
But there are days we fail to make contact
I guess I'll spend that time
Sharpening my words
Yeah I'll make sure they hurt
When I throw them back at you
Or at anybody else
Who gets in my way
