Somewhere with the curtains drawn 
Polly put the kettle on 
Somewhere not so far away 
It's an ordinary day

    I know this is not my tale to tell
    Oh don't I know it all too well 
    Stuck on the outside casting spells 
    Wishing so hard it twists me up 

Like a dog, like a drug, like a supervillain
Like a cold hand, a cold wind a sudden chill
Like a curse, makes a monstrous thing out of me
A blue-eyed beast of jealousy 

Somewhere in a quiet space
Miracles are taking place 
Trust is won and loves are made 
I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting

    I know this is no good anymore
    Yeah and I've heard it all before 
    Stuck on the outside keeping score
    Wanting so much it burns me up

Like a dog, like a drug, like a supervillain
Like a cold hand, a cold wind, a sudden chill 
Like a curse, makes a monstrous thing out of me
A blue-eyed beast of jealousy 


(count the months and 
count the words 
everything I
never heard 
cut like moonlight
through the blinds
off the margins 
left behind
count the seconds 
count the turns 
iron forged and bridges burned 
every moment 
every day 
another story washed away
count the seconds 
count the words 
everything I never heard 
every second 
every day 
another story washed away)

    I'm still standing, I'm still burning 
    I'm still counting, I'm still learning
    I'm still breathing, I'm still standing 
    I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting
    Somewhere not so far away....
