Lyrics

I don't remember a trial. I don't recall a crime.
But I find myself inside this cell. A prison of my mind.
On the outside free to come and go. On the inside, here I stay.
Friends all around, but all alone. I've turned my visitors away.

You say you wanna know me. You say you really care.
Would it matter if I'm hurting, and screaming at the air?
Can I let down my guard, leave my fake smile at the door?
Could you really be the one I've been waiting for?

When you look me in the eye, I can feel you look inside.
Though I wanna let you in, it'll take some time to break me out of prison.

They say good things come to those who wait. Do you have to leave me soon?
I feel as though I'll be here for a while. Can the same be said of you?

You say you wanna know me. You say you really care.
Would it matter if I'm hurting, and screaming at the air?
Can I let down my guard, leave my fake smile at the door?
Could you really be the one I've been praying for?

When you look me in the eye, I can feel you look inside.
Though I wanna let you in, it'll take some time to break me out of prison.
Hold me. See the beauty that I don't see.
Help me realize the sun will rise again, and we'll break me out of prison.

Trust comes slowly. Love's the key.
When you look me in the eye, I can feel you look inside.
Though I wanna let you in, it'll take some time to break me out.

When you look me in the eye, I can feel you look inside.
Though I wanna let you in, it'll take some time to break me out of prison.
Hold me. See the beauty that I don't see.
Help me realize the sun will rise again, now we'll break me out of prison.

Solid songwriting chops, knows how to structure a song and deliver the pay off hooks.

Spooky...sexy. Searing production on the track and supports vocal in a very theatrical way. Love the lyrics and her voice...The restraint from the wicked guitars is smart. They are heard but they don't get in the way of vocal.

emotive female vocal, a la pat benatar. tasteful production, neat guitar, cool lyrics also, keeps m'attention. i like 'prison/it'll take awhile.' groovy chorus. very good work.

Love the " 80's" feel of this song!! Great vocals .... " the bangles vibe/Madonna!!"
Great lyrics and amazing hook!!!
