Lyrics
I am transparent as the night rolls in.
I am unsubtle as the twilight fades.
I am transparent, and the stars refract like diamonds on my skin--
Could we begin again, somehow,
If I were reborn opaque now?
I could be someone who could hide from you.
I could unmatch my breath from your heartbeat.
I could be someone that you just might meet, someone you almost knew--
Could we begin again, somehow,
If I were reborn opaque now?
We never had the chance
To step back from this dance, my friend--
Do you ever miss me? I've missed you.
Have you ever wished we could renew ourselves as strangers?
Is this worth the times you look past me?
I weave a skin of glass for all to see,
And if I could, I might not know you--
If I could, we might not be the same.
The way I've shone, I might not choose to show you --
Eyes blue hot within the flame...
If I were reborn opaque right now.
And if I had the strength to walk away
And close the night around me like a shell,
Would I believe I could do just as well, wrought opaque some far day --
If we began again, somehow?
I'll never know. I love you now.
If we could end this dance
And still this flawed romance, my friend--
Would you choose to kiss me? I miss you.
Have you ever wished I would stop shadowing your doorway?
Is this worth the tears shed secretly?
I break like glass and shatter separately,
And if I could, I might not know you--
If I could, we might not be the same.
The way I've shone, I might not choose to show you --
Eyes blue hot within the flame...
If I were reborn opaque right now.
