Here you sit on your high-backed chair
wonder how the view is from there
i wouldnand't know and'cause i like to sit
upon the floor, yeah upon the floor
if you like we could play a game
letand's pretend that we are the same
but you will have to look much closer
than you do, closer than you do
And iand'm far too tired to stay here anymore
and i donand't care what you think anyway
and'cause i think you were wrong about me
yeah what if you were, what if you were
And what if iand'm a snowstorm burning
what if iand'm a world unturning
what if iand'm an ocean, far too shallow, much too deep
what if iand'm the kindest demon
something you may not believe in
what if iand'm a siren singing gentlemen to sleep
I know youand've got it figured out
tell me what i am all about
and i just might learn a thing or two
hundred about you, maybe about you
iand'm the end of your telescope
i donand't change just to suit your vision
and'cause i am bound by a fraying rope
around my hands, tied around my hands
And you close your eyes when i say iand'm breaking free
and put your hands over both your ears
because you cannot stand to believe iand'm not
the perfect girl you thought
well what have i got to lose
And what if iand'm a weeping willow
laughing tears upon my pillow
what if iand'm a socialite who wants to be alone
what if iand'm a toothless leopard
what if iand'm a sheepless shepherd
what if iand'm an angel without wings to take me home
You donand't know me
never will, never will
iand'm outside your picture frame
and the glass is breaking now
you canand't see me
never will, never will
if youand're never gonna see
What if iand'm a crowded desert
too much pain with little pleasure
what if iand'm the nicest place you never want to go
what if i donand't know who i am
will that keep us both from trying
to find out and when you have
be sure to let me know
What if iand'm a snowstorm burning
what if iand'm a world unturning
what if iand'm an ocean, far too shallow, much too deep
what if iand'm the kindest demon
something you may not believe in
what if iand'm a siren singing gentlemen to sleep
sleep...
sleep...
