standing just outside
the circle of light
avoiding the pool cues
watching the game
waiting for you
hanging in the doorway
like smoke
like mistletoe
this is where I'll be
whenever you come or go
I'm gonna roll you over
gonna peel you back
expose your tender center
watch the juices flow from the crack
gonna peel you out
of your protective shell
or I might have to break right in there
and raise some hell
I don't have no grand plan
for you and me
just nothing is impossible
nothing is unlikely
I'm just riding the tide
nothing more
and it's bound to take me out some
before it brings me back to shore
when you look in the mirror
do you see visions of your past
I ain't got time for halfway
I ain't got time for halfassed
when I look in the mirror
I see my days to come
and my face is just a trace
of where I'm coming from
just outside the circle of light
is where you've been living
your whole life
you've got to jump into the center
and launch your attack
and then you've got to crawl back
in the corners
where it's really blackLet's talk about the things you wonder
Things that you're trying to hide
When words slip up, you drag them under,
making me stand outside
But from all I can see,
you've become somewhat frightened of me
But my thoughts run high of what we could be
If we didn't stop to think
of what could go wrong on our way there
I want you to see what you can be
See what we can be if we try
Here is a thing we can't skip over
I think you should be around
What one can do, can two do better,
don't try to drag the thing down
If I thought I could be
something more than I thought I could be
I would take off and fly if it were me
I don't need to be reminded
of the things I don't believe in
