As the room slid into focus
|
and he woke up
|
With room service at the door
|
And he wondered why he
|
never spoke up
|
About all of that fear before
|
|
It was standing just an inch
|
behind him
|
A shadow stalking by his side
|
A thing he was afraid would
|
find him
|
And wash him away in the tide
|
|
And somehow she know why
|
I was crying
|
She knew just which fears
|
I had not faced
|
In her eyes I could see
|
Where I was lying to myself
|
And a path that she gently traced
|
To where the man in the movie said
|
Is it all right
|
If I miss her tonight
|
And the man felt just like me
|
|
They say a wolf in a trap will
|
chew off his own leg
|
I guess I did the same
|
It¡¯s what you do with a thing
|
you can¡¯t handle
|
A picture you just can¡¯t frame
|
|
And from somewhere deep in that movie
|
She opened a door in my chest
|
And delicately took out a death
|
That had never been laid to rest
|
|
And somehow she knew why
|
I was crying
|
She knew just which fears I had not faced
|
In her eyes I could see where
|
I was lying
|
To myself
|
And a path that she gently traced
|
To where the man in the movie said
|
Is it all right if I miss her tonight
|
And the man felt just like me
