Kissing in a classroom on a campus on the coast after hours of analysis
I loved you first, yeah, I loved you most
Now it feels like paralysis
And I've got no idea where we're going with this
No, I don't know where we're gonna land
And it might go better if do it by the letters
So, I need to know where I stand

Killing in a comedy club in Hollywood after years of psychotherapy
You were gone forever now you say you're back for good
I swear to God you're gonna bury me
And the people all laugh but
I'm dead on the inside
I'll do anything you demand
Well you tell me that you love me, yet you won't even hug me
So, I need to know where I stand
Yes, I need to know where I stand

Would you please?
Tell me if you can, tell me if you can
'Cause I need

Yes, I need to know where I stand

Quiet in the kitchen of a Cracker Jack box in the Hamlet of Wallkill
I miss you so much that it hurts me to talk
Yet you're standing right in front of me still
And I'm reaching for you but you're falling away
This has gotten so out of hand
Well, the world my end in a minute my friend
So, I need to know where I stand
Yes, I need to know where I stand

Would you please?
Tell me if you can, tell me if you can
'Cause I need
Yes, I need to know where I stand
Yeah, I need to know where I stand
But, I need to know where I stand
