Song Description
One of our favorite tunes. It's about the secret thoughts people often harbor about others, and what would happen if they were ever revealed. I didn't have Billy Joel's The Stranger in mind, but it's a similar idea.

Lyrics
Lyrics: Mark Carson
Music: Mark Carson/Timmy Baudier
You never seen my other face
That I have kept so far away
Where there is not a shade of grey
When I'm dreaming of you
But there'd be so much hell to pay
If you could see my other face
But that's exactly what I want to do
Well I know that yours is closer to another's
And I'm sure that it will break my heart in two
But I wish that I could find another place
To show my other face to you
My mind is saying to delay
But I don't want to pine away
Another lonely lifetime, when you're standing over there
But when I look into your eyes
I still am prone to compromise
`Cause there is so much room for more despair
Well I know you never asked me for a promise
And I know we never talked of being two
But I wish that I could find another place
To show my other face to you
And my heart is getting heavy as my knees are getting weak
As I slowly bang my head against the wall
As you throw a tender smile my way it pushes me to speak
But it's another face you're looking for
