Blues Traveler - Thinnest Of Air lyrics

How promising the start Of the letter being read until the captain proclaimed "Dying is my heart" And then a hush befalls the crowd as the theater exclaimed "Now our hero's part is played" And they continue as the lights come on and they get up to go "And we were all betrayed for our champion he screams and cries like us" Do they deserve to know that? Yes I'm unprepared And in the face of it all I guess I get just the littlest bit scared Yeah me I feel around In the darkness of an empty house And there's nothing there Just a terrified chameleon hiding out In the thinnest of air Should the love inside me die Come save me I'll be drowning just a few feet from the beach Please give it your best try Though I may do my best to distance you and keep your arms from reach I'm really asking you to stay But the only way that I know how is by riddle or by game It seems no one wants to play And as I float on out to sea I never really sink I just drift and say that Yes I'm unprepared And in the face of it all I guess I get just the littlest bit scared Yeah me I feel around In the darkness of an empty house And there's nothing there Just a terrified chameleon hiding out In the thinnest of air If ever I can ease your pain Well, I don't think I'd release you, I'd spin fairy tales instead Or else you'd never need me again And though I know that hold's pathetic it's letting go that I greater dread Call it a joke to hide a dream And it takes a good deal more than joking to make any dream come true So rock & roll and kick & scream For what it's worth I can't resist this flame and fire To finally say to you that Yes I'm unprepared And in the face of it all I guess I get just the littlest bit scared Yeah me I feel around In the darkness of an empty house And there's nothing there Just a terrified chameleon hiding out In the thinnest of air Yes I'm unprepared And in the face of it all I guess I get just the littlest bit scared Yeah me I feel around In the darkness of an empty house And there's nothing there Just a terrified chameleon hiding out In the thinnest of air
