What I Thought You Meant

V6

[Intro] You didn’t say it I felt it move In the dark between me and you [Verse 1] You turned away when I touched your shoulder Then leaned back into my hand Your breath caught somewhere near my collar And I thought I understood Your eyes said stay Your mouth said nothing I made a promise out of that Funny how close I was To what I thought you meant [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I heard an old goodbye In the way you said my name Maybe I was reading every shiver Like it had something to explain [Chorus] Tell me what you meant Not what I thought you meant Come a little closer Let me hear it from your lips Your body’s talking softly But I don’t want to pretend I know the difference Between wanting me And what I thought you meant [Verse 2] You said, “I’m tired” With your leg against mine Your fingers tracing circles on my skin I called your silence hesitation Then you pulled me closer in Maybe I was looking for an ending While you were asking me to stay [Bridge] Maybe I was right Maybe I was wrong Maybe I don’t need to know Before the night is gone Don’t give me certainty Just tell me what is true Or whisper it so close I have to hear it from you [Final Chorus] Tell me what you meant Not what I thought you meant Come a little closer Let me feel the words begin I was so sure I understood I forgot to let you in Stay right here Say it again Let me learn the difference Between you And what I thought you meant [Outro] Your mouth said nothing Your body moved Come closer Tell me
