Standing In The Doorway Lyrics

edit | print 
Standing in the doorway
Wondering if its safe to go outside
Wondering if Ill come back
Wondering if I might just drift out with the rising tide
Sitting and waiting and hoping to find
Something youre good at to use up your time
To crawl from the ocean and lie on the shore
A moonbeam the rests on the dust on your floor

Im not going out there
Dont try to tell me Im paranoid
Wouldnt say Im not scared
Though it may be safe to say that I am annoyed
In the intersection traffic lights are red in all directions
Everyone breaks the law sometimes
We all break down have foolish pride and
Beg for some affection
I cant say I know how you feel everyone seems to know
Are you sure I would if I could help you remember
What its like to feel good
Chitter and chatter and everything matters
I ask how youre feeling
And you just act shattered
Asleep on the couch with your eyes open wide

Standing in the doorway
Waiting as you come and as you leave
You say get out of my way
Wont you stop and talk about the hectic life you lead
Theyre all going somewhere
They all have some place they have to be
Maybe I should join them
I wish I could I think I have to stay here with me
It brings a tear to your eye to get out into the open
I cant believe I see myself
Coming into focus
Love this song? Put this box on your blog!

Standing In The Doorway Lyrics

Standing in the doorway
Wondering if its safe to go outside
Wondering if Ill come back
Wondering if I might just drift out with the rising tide
Sitting and waiting and hoping to find
Something youre good at to use up your time
To crawl from the ocean and lie on the shore
A moonbeam the rests on the dust on your floor

Im not going out there
