Then came the sound of a perfect way out Before the walls get to close and the ceiling falls down I'll find excuses for my actions because I know better And rob myself of joy, always and forever The only way to calm my nerves so I can begin again Is to close my door and listen close at 45rpm And with a breath I say take me home And when it ends I am left alone I walk with both arms to my side But in my mind they're both spread wide I'm not looking for a warm embrace I'm really asking why? With both arms open, hands to fingers My eyes are open but the truth still lingers You can't expect to understand love When you admire lonely singers
