I used to lie in my room and just stare Frustrated eyes flipping pages of air Gaze after gaze I could see nothing there I was just a flaw in the scheme Of everything but nightmarish dreams
No one could stand feeling that way for long So I chose to regard the whole world as the wrong And to make my own long assertions in song I decided I just didn't care That I'd look and I could see nothing there
(but now) I lie there staring in her eyes I lie there staring in her eyes I watch her be The sight I wanted so much to see
Oh let me tell you about a pleasure I've found First you surrender and stop looking around And then you get the one who you want to lie down And stare like a corpse in each's eyes Till you never want to come alive and rise
(and then, but now) I lie there staring in her eyes I lie there staring in her eyes I watch her be The sight I wanted so much to see
