lyrics

When I first saw you, you cut holes in the night
I hoped you'd see me, but you just passed by
I still see you but in a different way
For you to hold me, what would it take?

I've come this far and I can't go no more
I've got this feeling I don't know what it's for
A hidden surprise behind an unopened door
Please receive me I need nothing more

Spots on the ground, spots all around
Please don't laugh at what I am now
Under the lights, I feel the strain
All this time and, nothing is gained

I can't escape from the serpent's jaws
Or the pain of the grabbing claws
On my own I watched the sun
I stayed up until the day was done

Here I am, waiting for you
I could wait 'til, my life was through
That don't mean that there'll be no one else
Just that I'll drop 'em when you come along

Insight grows dimmer as my time goes past
I just wanted what I had to last
If you've got the feeling, I'll bring the rest
I'll quit searching once I get the.........
best
