Trace the patterns in your steps Inflections, what you might’ve meant Jealousy or envy Doesn’t matter, they’re both easy And every time I reach for you I stop myself so you don’t have to Scared of being dependent Shut you out in my resentment And this tension ties me up One hand reaching for the gun But then I hear you from the back seat Singing to yourself And I know I’ve felt this feeling Lying on your couch The shower drowns you out I think I could love you now Wish I could meet you for a second time And see you through a stranger’s eyes So gracious, pure as porcelain Not a trace of your exhaustion With the innocence of childhood They hold you up like atlas would When everything’s about you It just makes me hate me more But then our eyes meet and I’m laughing Dancing by yourself And you act like no one’s watching While they enjoy the view They’re all in love with you And I think I love you too You’re tearing me apart in my dreams You’re everything I wished I would be But I can feel my heart turn slowly I see what everybody else sees I want to be the wind in your wings All this doubt has made me numb I just want so much to trust you’ll hold me up Because I hear you from the back seat Singing to yourself And I know I’ve felt this feeling Lying on your couch The shower drowns you out I think I could love you now
