Watch me at the window from your place on the couch

Watch me pretending that I am really looking out

You say "come here, I can't see you in this light"

But I'm much safer beside the moon tonight



'Cause when I am a silhouette

I have no fear, you can love me from here

When I am a silhouette

I can give myself to you and you'd never see through

Never through



Don't come too close or you'll see my edges rough

And you'll make me wonder if I will be enough

You make me worry that somehow you will see

That there is always something small and trembling in me



But when I am a silhouette

I have no fear, you can love me from here

When I am a silhouette

I can give myself to you and you'd never see through

Never through



No place to hide in your single bed, no look of mine that you haven't read

I've always been an easy read

Just once I want to be a mystery

So though you tell me that it will be all right,

I'm much safer beside the moon tonight



'Cause when I am a silhouette

I have no fear, you can love me from here

When I am a silhouette

I can give myself to you and you'd never see through

Never through
