How long from night to night you find me?
Too weak to break these chains that bind me
I need your shackles to remind me
I'm just a prisoner of love

How long would love take to find a form that's true?
cnd how do I know if she's right from the feeling I grew?
Wouldn't waiting feel forever if there was only the one?
I mean I'm not against the waiting but the waiting feels dumb

Maybe it's the song, the way it's got me in mood
Like feeling melancholy while I'm thinking with you
I guess in terms of wait I could see what you mean
If waiting meant observation behind acts and scenes

Love like little birds, nighthawks with no nest
The home away from home they say, just always a bed
I hear obsessions form when a person isn't there
So just like dead sights the love becomes what you wear

c home away from home, still what's the wait?
Standing still is a watcher of tight windows that close
I love this girl's style, and just the way that she thinks
But I can't expect to see her within the people I'm seeing

How long from night to night you find me?
Too weak to break these chains that bind me
I need your shackles to remind me
I'm just a prisoner of love

c prisoner of who's love?

I'm binded by chains, black steel melted for beds
c pressured coating of pipes that enclose us instead
It started with television, love stories of times
Despite the range they're all the same, I'm yours and you're mine

It's that same kind of chain that becomes too fake
Sentimental living life like I'm just waiting for waits
cnd when a good one comes along instead of making her mine
I was diverted by beliefs that she wasn't my right

It's that same kind of chain that's just too much the same
I'm not against a soulmate but I don't see it this way
I believe in many things that should be good enough
cnd once they cross our threshold we should just call it love

Why try to perfect a pair at perfectly fault?
It's like we seek the sunrise but we stare at the walls
I think that all derives from the chains they made
Love stories on television making us wait

How long from night to night you find me?
Too weak to break these chains that bind me
I need your shackles to remind me
I'm just a prisoner of love
