Sometimes I hear a song that makes me wonder how you’d dance.
Would you smile or laugh or sing it in a drunken trance?
Does you heart beat fast against a girl who looks like me?
Do you dare when you’re alone to touch those ancient memories?
There are secrets that I keep for both of us, I think.
Moments lost in darkened attics full of dusty dreams.
But they belong to you and I.
Somewhere in the flames of sunset sky.
I wonder if your smile still makes your eyes light like the sun.
I wonder if your laugh still fills the empty holes inside of me.
Do you regret the same things that assault me when it’s late at night?
Am I the thing that keeps you from a different, sweeter life?
There are secrets that I keep for both of us, I think.
Drowning in the moving parts that make up life’s machinery.
Only you would know the magic word.
I wish that you could hear what should be heard.
And when no one is watching, I still watch.
And when no one is watching, I still watch you as you look for me.
But, do you even look for me?
I hope that you don’t look for me.
Are you even looking any more?
Alone, in different worlds, the final act is on the stage.
My throne of sticks and stones still binds my feet in satin shackle cords.
Assuming the positions that the shadows all expect of me.
But there are nights I lie awake and grieve,
And hope that you are sleeping without dreams.
There are secrets that I keep for both of us, I think.
A mixed-up version of a perfect world that never came for me.
Take the poison out from ‘neath my eyes.
And let the past be buried with its lies.
And when no one is watching, I still watch.
And when no one is watching, I still watch you as you look for me.
I hope that you don’t look for me.
Will you ever look for me?
I hope that you aren’t looking any more.
I’m the one still holding closed the door.
