"face at the window"



Someone's looking through your window, someone's trying to get in

I try so hard to gain your attention, but you won't let me win

The rain pours down like an ocean, and my boots leak at the heel

Is this kind of emotion that you want me to reveal? 

Is this kind of emotion that you want me to reveal?  



Walking back along the street in the damp cloak of night

The lamplight glitters bittersweet, but my cigarette won't light

The nicotine absorbs me in the way you used to do

you wouldn't just ignore me - I assume that much is true

You couldn't just ignore me - I assume that much is true 



Situation's over, emotions never end

I don't need a therapist, I only need a friend

After the explosion (I believed I knew your name) 

We count the damage done (you would always stay the same)

I don't need a thousand nights (deluding myself again) 

I only need the one

I only need the one



And all we ever looked for was a smiling face

And all we ever looked for was a saving grace 

And all we ever needed was the jaws of life

And all we ever needed was a carving knife



Someone's looking in your window, someone's walking away

Don't resent me in the future for the part I had to play

I could never be your lover, I could never take that on 

It would only be another "You'll be happy when I'm gone" 

It would only be another "You'll be happy when I'm gone" 



Situation's over, emotions never end

I don't need a therapist, I only need a friend

After the explosion (I believed I knew your name) 

We count the damage done (you would always stay the same)

I don't need a thousand nights (deluding myself again) 

I only need the one

I only need the one



And all I ever wanted was you.
