LYRICS
What do you see in flashes of light
when you open your eyes and the world is too bright?
Creatures from fantasy, or failures and flattering
memories, altered to paint you the heroine
Through the looking glass,
keep an eye on your past
and keep moving forwards without turning back
But truth is distorted through mirrors and glasses
and I'm in your blindspot
awaiting a glance

Since that night of soap opera romance
I can't share a single bed with
anybody else
And I wonder if you think about
just giving me a call and saying,
"Hey, remember me?
Remember anything at all?"

'Cause I try
to live like there's living to do
But I'm waiting for an answer
and you're silent and too far away
Tell me why
I'm sitting here waiting for you
I've been sitting so long
I've forgotten the reasons you gave
When you walked away

Take a minute to open your eyes
while the bright lights have faded, and stars fill the sky
Look past the mirror, it's clouding your judgement
a constant obstruction that hides the horizon
You're much better off
looking back once in a while
than fixing your eyes on the future
'cause every mistake is a lesson worth learning
So I'll be your teacher
if you'll take me back

All the prayers and the hope cannot save me
I'm holding on tight, but you're letting me go
So I'm trying to remember when
you told me what love means
and that sometimes it's applicable
to what you feel for me

And I try
to live like there's living to do
But I'm waiting for an answer
and you're silent and too far away
Tell me why
I'm sitting here waiting for you
I've been sitting so long
I've forgotten the reasons you gave
When you walked away

Still I try
to live like there's living to do
But I'm waiting for an answer
and you're silent and too far away
Don't know why
I'm sitting here waiting for you
I've been waiting too long
I just wish you'd turn round so you'd see
I'm walking away

This is my favorite song of yours. I'd love to see a music video for it. Or make one, ha.

I'd totally quote this song all the time, except I'd end up singing the entire thing. Awesome, brilliant, amazing lyrics.
