I am
|
Down the road and up the hill
|
I wait for you still
|
Wires 'round my fingers
|
Potentially lovely
|
Perpetually human
|
Suspended and open
|
Open
|
Open
|
|
I am
|
Through the woods and past the trains
|
I wait here in vain
|
Scrubbing out the stains again
|
Potentially lovely
|
Perpetually human
|
Haphazardly open
|
Open
|
Open
|
|
Open up you heart, and then
|
In a night, the snow starts falling
|
And everybody stares
|
Through their windows at the streetlights
|
Too beautiful to see
|
|
I am
|
In a room I've built myself
|
Four straight walls
|
One floor
|
One ceiling
|
And day after day, I wake up feeling
|
Day, way
|
Day after way feeling
|
|
Potentially lovely
|
Perpetually human
|
Suspended and open
|
Open
|
Open
|
Open
|
|
Open up
|
Your heart
|
And then...
|
