As I Stare

I've seen them, many times
in such a different way, always
not the same way they see me
like if there was a piece of gray glass
inbetween.

The whole back and forth
can just be my fault
and for repeated mistakes
I'm sure I'll sign up.

Stained relationships of old stories...
Damaged friendships that keep on hiding phrases...
Skins that can't feel that they really wanna feel...
Blocked hearts that prefer not to taste what's there...
Lips that rather stay sealed than to make things worse...
And then me, staring at all of them together.

I've seen them
Loved them
Walked them
Heard them
Felt them
Touched them
but still...

Lyrics by Metric

Saw the water, not the waves
Caught your eye, forgot your name
Always leaving, either way
I want you to stop me

Episodes to fantasize
TV movie of our lives
The future is all mine
I'll find it on my way back

When I'm gone
I'll know what I've done
I'll go where I don't belong

It's all, not one
I love everything
No sleep; I lose everything
Oh don't tell me again
I won't see you again

Not one
I love everything
No sleep; I lose everything
Oh, don't tell me again
I won't see you again

Saw the waves, but not the tide
I couldn't stay, I don't know why
A sailor married to the sea
My luck is a lost key

The door is locked from the inside
Don't wait around, I won't arrive
Keep a room somewhere for me
I'll find it on my way back

When I'm gone
I'll know what I've done
I'll go where I don't belong

It's all, not one
I love everything
No sleep; I lose everything
Oh don't tell me again
I won't see you again
