Lyrics

Imagine that I'm on stage under a watchtower of punishing light
And in the haze is your face bathed in shadow and what's beyond you is hidden from sight
And somebody right now is yawning and watching me like a tv
And I've been frantically piling up sandbags against the flood waters of fatigue and insecurity
And that's when I hear my guitar singing and so I just start singing along
And somewhere in my chest all the noise just gets crushed by the song
Imagine that I'm at your mercy, imagine that you are at mine
Just pretend that I've been standing here, watching you watching me all of this time
Imagine that you are the weather in the tiny snow globe of this song
And I am a statue of liberty one inch long
So here I am at my most hungry, and here I am at my most full
And here I am waving a red cape, locking eyes with a bull
Imagine that I'm on stage under a watchtower of punishing light
And in the haze is your face bathed in shadow and what's beyond you is hidden from sight
