The Long Way

There’s no glass in the window as my face feels a breeze
An emanating radiance that begins to weaken my knees
I’m alive on the rooftops as I leap overhead
I swim across waters no sharks dare to tread

CHORUS
All of the whiling knowing what all of this is for
Dazzling mental pictures and snapshots galore
You’ve shown me color and what I’m supposed to see
Not these translucent walls structured so imperfectly

You camouflage things that should never be shown
You’re an inescapable face I can’t stand to leave alone
So as I lie next to you I ask you one thing
If I took the long way would you still be waiting?
