Lyrics
He’s in the darkness on the far side of the road
Close to the ground, beyond the streetlight’s glow
Walk right by him don’t look in his eyes
You might not like what you find…..
Chorus:
and you feel the street closing behind you
and it feels like wings
beating inside you
and he says, come here,
right here beside me
I see and feel just like you,
if you cut me,
don’t I bleed,
just like you.
A little darker now
a girl with shadows in her eyes,
Windowless doors
A little hard to find
Are you lost , love,
Just come inside…..
‘cause it’s a long, long night….
(Chorus)
So take another step closer to the light,
Tell me is it comfort that you find
Oh it’s easy so easy to deny,
Tell yourself another lie…..
Back home, let it slide,
Grab the remote and close your eyes,
Feels much better with the sound on high,
All you relate to, put right before your eyes,
Nothing , nothing gets inside,
Till you hear the door
Crashing behind you
And it feels like wings
Beating inside you
And it’s here somehow,
Right here beside you
To see and feel
What you do,
To cut you,
And watch you bleed….
‘cause you do.
