Against the Window Pane

歌詞

I believe the heart's a theatre, and that the actors on its stage are playing dreams but they're imposters and that the devil pays their wage. I believe the passion of that drama that we're certain is for real is a diversion for our senses while the director comes to steal. CHORUS And ever since I was a little kid, I didn't want to run away, But it scared me half to death to think that I might have to stay. I've had a hundred scarecrow certainties. I've built a wooden drawbridge for my brain. But they all burn up when I see Your face against the window pane. I believe that in the passionate, there's a part that is divine I've seen the cosmos in a woman's smile, tasted eternity in wine. But I don't just believe in sentiment, or miracles of everyday. I believe that there are lepers healed. I believe the dead are raised. BRIDGE Jesus was a lover. He had a fire in His eyes that could burn away excuses, cremate your alibis. He had a gaze that would expose to you all the subtle lies that your soul permits your heart to tell concerning all that it denies.
