Story Behind The Song
I was patiently waiting for a girl to decide whether or not she wanted to get serious after already pouring my heart out to her, and told her the ball was in her court now. But she was so great, I would still like her even if she said no.

Lyrics
So I opened up my heart to you
And you sort of opened up your heart to me
I know it's fashionable to doubt oneself
But if you don't speak up, I'm gonna wonder what you don't see
I've driven this conversation into the ground
Now it's your turn to turn it around, around
Alright, the ball's in your court now
I've spilled out my guts and I'm wondering how
You'll react, when, in fact, I shouldn't have lost control
Alright, the ball's in your court now
I've spilled out my guts and I'm wondering how
I'll react; how can I say no to you saying no?
As exciting as this ride has been, I gotta
Get off now, yeah, I gotta put the pressure on
If I sound hurried, it's 'cause I'm worried
By the time you come around, I'll be gone
I've driven this conversation into the ground
But an empty hole was all that I found, and how
I told you it's your decision
No matter what my choice is, there aren't two voices
I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you too much
I've driven this conversation into the ground
Can you give me an answer at all?
Sometimes it's less in the answer
And more in the stall
