lyrics

I saw your smile from a distance,
and made my way through the crowd to try be near you,
to try to get close to you,
I met your eyes for a moment,
and longed to feel what you hold there
cos I never could read you, I always would speak too soon,
when I held your hand for the first time,
something I never told you was I already missed you,
cos I knew you would leave so soon.

Something always tries to explain us away now,
sometimes I feel i'm full but I'm empty, crying still laughing,
so loved yet lonely.

I put my heart on the line when I left my armor at home and
you really could see me, could really get close to me,
when I saw your world for the first time,
something I couldn't tell you was I wished you would take me,
but I knew it would be too soon.

Something always tries to explain this away now,
sometimes I feel I'm high but I'm searching,
closed and open, so loved yet lonely.

could you blame me?

I just wanted to be, wanted to feel something other than me,
I just wanted to taste the smile of a face
of somebody other than me,
I just wanted to share, wanted to care
for somebody other than me,
sometimes I feel so enclosed and long to be
in somebody other than me...
