Soul Asylum - Standing In The Doorway - Текст песни

Standing in the doorway

Wondering if it's safe to go outside

Wondering if I'll come back

Wondering if I might just drift out with the rising tide

Sitting and waiting and hoping to find

Something you're good at to use up your time

To crawl from the ocean and lie on the shore

A moonbeam the rests on the dust on your floor


I'm not going out there

Don't try to tell me I'm paranoid

Wouldn't say I'm not scared

Though it may be safe to say that I am annoyed

In the intersection traffic lights are red in all directions

Everyone breaks the law sometimes

We all break down have foolish pride and

Beg for some affection

I can't say I know how you feel everyone seems to know

Are you sure I would if I could help you remember

What it's like to feel good

Chitter and chatter and everything matters

I ask how you're feeling

And you just act shattered

Asleep on the couch with your eyes open wide


Standing in the doorway

Waiting as you come and as you leave

You say get out of my way

Won't you stop and talk about the hectic life you lead

They're all going somewhere

They all have some place they have to be

Maybe I should join them

I wish I could I think I have to stay here with me

It brings a tear to your eye to get out into the open

I can't believe I see myself

Coming into focus
