Carve Your Initials by The Parasites Lyrics

Oh, I've been waiting for a long, long time
And feeling worse than I could feel
Always the wrong place at the wrong time
But this time I know that it's for real

When we talk, I don't know what to say
But I think that I will be okay
If I carve your initials in my heart
And though it helps when things get rough
Your picture's not enough
So I will carve your initials in my heart
And find the best way that I can
To make sure you begin to understand

So many thoughts are swimming 'round my head
I sometimes wish that I would drown
Or maybe think of something else instead
But that would only bring me down

So I'll take a knife and hold it steady
'Cause I know that I'm more than ready
To carve your initials in my heart
I'll hold my pillow to my head
Until it's you instead
Then I will carve your initials in my heart
And I don't care how much it hurts
'Cause me here without you is even worse
[Guitar lead]

I really love you, and I always will
For you I'll always be around
And if it takes some time, I'll wait until
Until the stars come crashing down

It gets so lonely when there's no one else
And I've done the best that I can do
And so I'll sit right here beside myself
Until I'm sitting beside you

And I'd give it all up in a minute
If I had a life and you were in it
I'd carve your initials in my heart
I'll hold my pillow to my head
Until it's you instead
Then I will carve your initials in my heart
And dream about the day that you
Carved my initials into your heart, too
