It's the sun's morning light that has got you so blind
That right at this time it feels warm on your skin
So you tilt your head back
For a second to relax
But the darkness, it always sets in

It's the root in the ground sticking up you don't see
And your glasses fall off
To blend in with the leaves
And you're on your knees
With your hands scrambling
Looking for something worth finding
Something worth the effort to see

And the ones that are the closest are never in the know
And the arms that are the furthest are the first place you go
While your memory is erasing
To make room for replacing
Something high for every low
Clear images fade along with your hate
And soon you will find somehow you forgave

It's the elephant in the room no one bothers to mention
Standing unassuming, still the center of attention
Eyelids shift and personalities switch
As soon as the lights are all out
And you're a doll on display
Growing old, locked away
Meant to look at but never to hold

And it was never planned to happen like this
It was only a brush of the hips
But one inch and one inch and one inch and one inch and
**You better let me finish
