Lyrics
I thought I felt the warmth of a candle burning
in this over-air-conditioned bar.
I thought I felt the burn of two eyes staring
from across the room, so far away.
I don?t know why I came here ?
so unlike me, the silent type ?
to spill my guts inside a bottle,
can I get a little more pity to wash down this pride?
But as I hide
could you find me?
?Cause you look stronger than I,
and I want to see with your eyes;
I wonder, do you know that I
would be standing by your side?
Desperation sings in the crashing glasses;
Cheers to those who drink their lives away!
While all these questions swarm like angry barflies,
another drink persuades me to stay.
Have I become one of the many,
whose souls splash ?round a rich brown brandy?
I don?t know ? don?t know anymore.
I just can?t deny
you look stronger than I,
and I want to see with your eyes;
I wonder, do you know that I
would be standing by your side?
Is this the crossroad I?ll never tread?
Is this some painting that I tore from my wall?
Is this my cathedral left in ruins?
Is this just some dream I?ll never know?
You look stronger than I,
and I want to see with your eyes;
I wonder, do you know that I
would be standing by your side?
One more drink for this shy little barfly.
Can?t miss me in the corner of the room,
where the shadows loom.
