There's a graceful dance above me
From the sun reflecting in
Off the cars that pass below
Each with their own story within
And the dance moves
They remind me of the times that I've walked in
To a room and left with nothing
Except the fear to walk back in
So I'll stay safe at my vantage
On occasion I'll peer in
You'll grow up out of the corner of my eyes
Right next to him
You'll need help, you'll need attention
You're a captivate whim
But I'm a coward prone to quitting
I just make sure never to begin

The gunpowder between my teeth
Lets me know that I've come clean
It should be easy to say goodbye
Since you won't be looking at me

I can see you through a window
But the cracks keep you a blur
There's a victim in this story
I wish to god that is was her
While I know I've your recognition
It's of its nature I'm not sure
If I could ever push this question
I'd shut my ears for the answer
