[Verse 1]
I could handle your tortured heart
Even piece it together whenever you ripped it apart
But I could never be that kind of girl
Who absorbs that kind of suffering and turns it in to some kind of pearl

[Chorus]
I want love to love me back
I want two-way conversations
I want love to love me back
One that can handle any situation
I want love to love me back

[Verse 2]
A sky full of winter stars
Light up the streets of Manhattan
Wrapping linens in empty cars
Stretching in the summer sun
It's all out in the open, a California highway
I don't wanna run

[Chorus]
I want love to love me back
I want two-way conversations
I want love to love me back
One that can handle any situation
I want love to love me back
[Bridge]
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Back
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Back

[Verse 3]
Listening to a distant train
I wonder where it's going
Maybe where it's coming from is all the same
Took some time to find my place
Where the coyotes are cryin'
I don't want somebody filling up this space

[Chorus]
I want love to love me back
I want two-way conversations
I want love to love me back
One that can handle any situation
I want love to love me back
I want love to love me back
I want two-way conversations
I want love to love me back
One that can handle any situation
I want love to love me back
