Here you sit in your high-backed chair
|
Wonder how the view is from there
|
I wouldn't know 'cause I like to sit
|
Upon the floor, yeah upon the floor
|
If you like we could play a game
|
Let's pretend that we are the same
|
But you will have to look much closer
|
Than you do, closer than you do
|
And I'm far too tired to stay here anymore
|
And I don't care what you think anyway
|
'Cause I think you were wrong about me
|
Yeah what if you were, what if you were
|
And what if I'm a snowstorm burning
|
What if I'm a world unturning
|
What if I'm an ocean, far too shallow, much too deep
|
What if I'm the kindest demon
|
Something you may not believe in
|
What if I'm a siren singing gentlemen to sleep
|
|
I know you've got it figured out
|
Tell me what I am all about
|
And I just might learn a thing or two
|
Hundred about you, maybe about you
|
I'm the end of your telescope
|
I don't change just to suit your vision
|
'Cause I am bound by a fraying rope
|
Around my hands, tied around my hands
|
And you close your eyes when I say I'm breaking free
|
And put your hands over both your ears
|
Because you cannot stand to believe I'm not
|
The perfect girl you thought
|
Well what have I got to lose
|
And what if I'm a weeping willow
|
Laughing tears upon my pillow
|
What if I'm a socialite who wants to be alone
|
What if I'm a toothless leopard
|
What if I'm a sheepless shepherd
|
What if I'm an angel without wings to take me home
|
|
You don't know me
|
Never will, never will
|
I'm outside your picture frame
|
And the glass is breaking now
|
You can't see me
|
Never will, never will
|
If you're never gonna see
|
What if I'm a crowded desert
|
Too much pain with little pleasure
|
What if I'm the nicest place you never want to go
|
What if I don't know who I am
|
Will that keep us both from trying
|
To find out and when you have
|
Be sure to let me know
|
What if I'm a snowstorm burning
|
What if I'm a world unturning
|
What if I'm an ocean, far too shallow, much too deep
|
What if I'm the kindest demon
|
Something you may not believe in
|
What if I'm a siren singing gentlemen to sleep
|
Sleep...
|
Sleep...
