Waiting Look At Me Lyrics

Look At Me Lyrics

Golden bars of sunlight come sneaking through the shutters

Laying stripes on my back, like a zebra

Sweaty fingers turning pages, and clinging to the bed

Like it's a bride and I never want to leave her



Paul calls me a saint and the mattress shakes with laughter

And the sheets let out a chuckle while the pillow holds one in

I don't believe a word I read, but the man is so convincing

Says You're calling me a winner of a game I never win



But with everyword I read I feel Your eyes upon me

And I don't mind at all



I love the way You look at me, the way You steer Your eyes

To see the bride beneath the harlot's skin, the vitue underneath the sin

I love the way You look at me, when You lift the veil and You repeat Your
vow



Get up for the shower, wash, and scrub and scour every part

As if a cleaner man could better bear the shame

Now, I move out into the sunlight, a frightened fool

There's a reason for my fright, for I'm a messenger who's forgetting why he
came



For when You look at me, You see every drop of blood You spent

Like the color that comes creeping to my face

It is such sweet embarrassment to see the dowry that You paid for my cold
embrace

But I'll never let you go because...
