The stand

Tell me why it seems so hard to get inside your head
Layers of you I'll never unfold
Flashbulb moments, pretty words, but somehow, always, I’m
In the same place as I was before

I wanted to talk to you, but you weren’t around
And I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried to get through
I stand on your doorstep, but nobody’s home
And I'll try and I'll try and I'll try and I'll try again

Tell me why I’m always there beside you in the wars
Do I see you as a friend or something more
It kills me to see you hurt, but somehow, always, you’re
Suffering in silence through the storm

I wanted to talk to you, but you weren’t around
And I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried to get through
I stand on your doorstep, but nobody’s home
And I'll try and I'll try and I'll try and I'll try again

I’m an open book, read my every page
Waste away with me, I just want you to stay
And to let me see what you hold inside so tight

I’m an open book, read my every page
Waste away with me, I just want you to stay
Won’t you let me see what you hold inside so tight

I wanted to talk to you, but you weren’t around
And I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried to get through
I stand on your doorstep, but nobody’s home
And I'll try and I'll try and I'll try and I'll try again
