​(Verse 1) The temperature drops when you walk in the room Then you light the whole place up with the smile you assume You say we should wait, take it slow for a while Then you're pulling me closer with that look in your eye One step forward, then two steps behind You're messing with my heart, and you're messing with my mind ​(Pre-Chorus) And I'm spinning in circles, chasing a ghost You give me just enough, but never the most My head is a mess, my heart's in a knot Tell me what you feel, or what you have forgot ​(Chorus) Oh, I'm trying to read the signs But you're speaking in riddles and rhymes It's a "yes" with your lips, but a "no" with your touch Tell me, am I asking for way too much? You draw me a map, then you tear up the page Trapped in the confusion of this beautiful cage Just spell it out for me, one more time 'Cause baby, I'm failing to read the signs ​(Verse 2) Last night was a movie, a perfect scene Today I'm a stranger, you're distant, you're mean You talk 'bout our future and the plans that we'll make Then act like my number was just a mistake Are we on? Are we off? Are we something between? It's the most unclear picture that I've ever seen ​(Pre-Chorus) And I'm spinning in circles, chasing a ghost You give me just enough, but never the most My head is a mess, my heart's in a knot Just give me the truth, it's all that I've got ​(Chorus) Oh, I'm trying to read the signs But you're speaking in riddles and rhymes It's a "yes" with your lips, but a "no" with your touch Tell me, am I asking for way too much? You draw me a map, then you tear up the page Trapped in the confusion of this beautiful cage Just spell it out for me, one more time 'Cause baby, I'm failing to read the signs ​(Bridge) I'm over the guesswork, the maybes, the games I'm tired of wondering if you feel the same Is there something you're scared of? Something I can't see? Just give me some clarity, please, set me free ​(Chorus) 'Cause I'm trying to read the signs But you're speaking in riddles and rhymes It's a "yes" with your lips, but a "no" with your touch Tell me, am I asking for way too much? You draw me a map, then you tear up the page Trapped in the confusion of this beautiful cage Just spell it out for me, one more time 'Cause baby, I'm failing to read the signs ​(Outro) Yeah, read the signs... (Just tell me what you mean) Can't read the signs... (Just tell me what you mean) What do they say now? Oh, I can't read the signs...
