[Verse 1]
Waiting down at the station
I don’t remember, I think it was late then
Standing, always so quiet
We’re like elevators, filled up with strangers

[Chorus 1]
No sound, no Hallelujahs
Still I was praying on the train ride home
If I can't get the things I want
If I can't get the things I want
Just give me what I need

[Verse 2]
Our words fill up the pages
Fill up the days with songs for the ages
Still those vows that we all speak
We break them like concrete and just make our words cheap

[Chorus 2]
I want someone to grow with
Songs I can sing to and a family to cling to
But if I can't get the things I want
If I can't get the things I want
Just give me what I need
Just give me what I need
