Longing for the day

I´ve been trying to find a way that I could say it you -
Say it you, all that I´ve been trying to say.
I´ve been stuttering my way from here to anywhere -
Anywhere you can hear me stutter away.
I´ve been longing for the day, when you would say "Hey,
I feel a little fragile today, and I was wondering if I could drop on by?"
I´ve been talking to total strangers in the middle of the night,
Because I get so nervous when I dial your number
That I never quite punch it in right, in spite of me.
So I haven´t been as strong as I had thought I´d be,
But I think I´ve been stronger than you would concede.
So let´s do that exercise where you close your eyes
And fall back onto me, and you will see I´m strong after all.
I will lift you up if you´ll lay me down.
So today could be the day when we both say "Hey,
I feel a little fragile today, and I was wondering if I could drop on by?"
So I won´t be nervous when I dial your number in the middle of the night.
I will clear my throat, then I´ll sing this song,
And I´ll be out the door and round before the first of the new day´s light.
Say it you, all that I´ve been trying to say.
I´ve been stuttering my way from here to anywhere -
Anywhere you can hear me stutter away.

That I never quite punch it in right, in spite of me.
