I used to lie in my room and just stare

Frustrated eyes flipping pages of air

Gaze after gaze I could see nothing there

I was just a flaw in the scheme

Of everything but nightmarish dreams



No one could stand feeling that way for long

So I chose to regard the whole world as the wrong

And to make my own long assertions in song

I decided I just didn't care

That I'd look and I could see nothing there



(but now)

I lie there staring in her eyes

I lie there staring in her eyes

I watch her be

the sight I wanted so much to see



Oh let me tell you about a pleasure I've found

First you surrender and stop looking around

And then you get the one who you want to lie down

And stare like a corpse in each's eyes

Till you never want to come alive and rise



(and then, but now)

I lie there staring in her eyes

I lie there staring in her eyes

I watch her be

the sight I wanted so much to see
