Taking a walk late at night across the empty orchard
Knocking on the door of my neighbor’s house
The door opens and my eyes close, my heart beats and I hear those melodies again
I am watching a girl on the stage
Her life is wrapped up in a man
And I think to myself:
How sad, and how lonely?
And I know I’m just as bad

‘Cause how many times do I wish you would hold me?
But who are you anyway?
How many times do I wish you would hold me?
But who are you anyway?

When taking the stairs is an act of defiance
And I’m locked in my room with the door open wide
For the first time in my life I let my legs hang over the edge of the bed
And I think about how driven she is
And how she loves a man who may never love her back
And how she is chasing and not throwing the chance away

‘Cause how many times do I wish you would hold me?
But who are you anyway?
How many times do I wish you would hold me?
But who are you anyway?

I will walk away dreaming, tears rush streaming
Down my face
Knowing that who I am could throw all this away
And never leave a trace
And I could mock her vulnerability
Claim that I am cryptic, and a mystery
But I know that I could never fool anyone
And you would laugh at me
Laugh at me

‘Cause how many times do I wish you would hold me?
But who are you anyway?
How many times do I wish you would hold me?
But who are you anyway?

Dangling in front of the vampires and darkness in my head
I can finally sleep comfortably
With my legs hanging over the edge of the bed
I am watching a girl on the stage
Her life is wrapped up in a man
And I think to myself:
How sad and how lonely?
And I know I’m just as bad

‘Cause how many times do I wish you would hold me?
But who am I anyway?
How many times do I wish you would hold me?
But who am I anyway?
Who am I anyway?
Who am I anyway?
